A Belated Happy Bedford Day to all DUers!

[cryofan]

January 12th was Bedford Day. James Bedford, frozen Jan. 12, 1967, was the first person cryopreserved under controlled conditions with intent to reanimate. He is currently stored at Alcor and has been since the 1980s. He was examined in 1991--cube ice packed around his body at the time of his freezing was still unmelted, indicating he'd stayed frozen the whole time. (This included a period when his relatives were maintaining him in a mini-warehouse, prior to Alcor's taking over his care.) Anyway, Bedford is a sort of patron saint of cryonauts--once again, a belated but happy Bedford Day.
