I hope that you and Mark will come up with a good plan of attack. I can only regret that my workload does not allow me to participate in this project.

I hope that you might understand that I am conceptually looking for "founders" and at the "pre" business plan stage. There is an enormous problem existing with a very attractive economic reward and willing participants needing this solution. I need help.

I believe that a for-profit economic model is possible that should reverse these skyrocketing costs and ultimately lower the commodity thereby having a national, if not, global impact of health care costs. Vince seems to also believe in the concepts potential. The CEO of one of the biggest U.S. blood banks has already asked to become involved. I would like involve more people with vision, means and desire to help make this a reality. I would look forward to meeting with you to talk further. Al Arfsten 713 965 2158
