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.

Gulf Coast Beach Toys

From NPS Incidents:
Unexploded Ordnance Discovered During Oil Cleanup
Gulf Islands NS – There was continued oiling at Perdido Key yesterday, most of it west of the park boundary. Over 140 people were engaged in cleaning up the oil. During the course of the clean-up there, undetonated military ordnance was found on the shore. A  Navy EOD team (explosive ordnance disposal) was called, and the shell was detonated. Booms were removed from the beaches at the western end of Ft. Pickens and the eastern end of Perdido Key as they were deemed ineffective due to tidal and wave action. This action also may help protect potential turtle nesting sites. Crews totaling 40 people were at Ft. Pickens cleaning up light oiling, and another 40 people were deployed to Navarre Beach to clean up light oiling there. Surveillance for oiling continues throughout all park areas on a daily basis.
