Contact Information

NRTI as we knew it is no more, and I don't know what will happen in the future. Technically, I'm still employed by the College, though am enjoying a paid hiatus, and working on everything I couldn't work on when I was spending 70 hours a week running the Program, like cleaning up from the tornado that hit, what, 7 years ago now? I'm also commissioned with a nearby county agency, actually answering to one of the more popular instructors, so I'm still trying to keep my hand in.

I'll continue to post information and news from grads and friends, and also want to keep current with LE news and references.

My College phone and e-mail are pretty much out of service, so I'll be setting up yet another account , so we can stay in touch.

Body Found Below Grand Canyon Rim

We'll mention this type of scenario several times during the Academy:

From NPS Incidents:

GRAND CANYON NATIONAL PARK
Body Found Below Canyon Rim

A man’s body was discovered below the canyon rim at the Abyss on Hermit Road on Wednesday. On Tuesday afternoon, rangers found a light-colored passenger vehicle parked at the Abyss with no owner immediately apparent. The following morning, rangers went out to check on the vehicle and found that it was still parked at the Abyss, triggering an investigation which included using a spotting scope to search below the rim. Unable to thoroughly view the area with the spotting scope, rangers requested a helicopter to assist with a below-rim investigation.  At about 10:45 a.m., the helicopter crew reported spotting the body of a lone man about 300 feet below the rim. Search and rescue personnel rappelled down to the location and extricated the body, which was transferred to the Coconino County medical examiner. A location is underway.
