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.

Yosemite rock climber rescued by helicopter after 30-foot fall

Yosemite rock climber rescued by helicopter after 30-foot fall
"Rescuers had to airlift a rock climber out of Yosemite National Park after he suffered major injuries in a 30-foot fall Sunday, authorities said.
A 26-year-old man from Palo Alto, Calif. was climbing with a partner Sunday morning and was about halfway up the Higher Cathedral Spire, one of a series of near-vertical granite pinnacles, according to Officer Andrea Brown of the California Highway Patrol’s Air Operations Division.
He reportedly fell about 30 feet and was unable to move without excruciating pain, Brown said.
CHP flight officers transported two members of the park’s climbing-equipped rescue team to the location, dropping them one at a time from the helicopter to the climber, who was about 500 feet above the valley floor, Brown said."
