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.

Ranger Successfully Intervenes In Suicide Attempt

From NPS Incidents:
SHENANDOAH NATIONAL PARK
Ranger Successfully Intervenes In Suicide Attempt
While sweeping the Skyline Drive as part of a seasonal nightly road closure, ranger Bill Cardwell checked on a truck parked in one of the overlooks and found a man slumped over inside the cab with a hose through the window. Cardwell was able to awaken the man, who proved to be intoxicated. He ultimately admitted to trying to commit suicide, but said that he was unsuccessful because the hose kept coming out of the tailpipe. The man then said that he had decided to sleep awhile, then head to another overlook and drive his vehicle over the edge. Cardwell took the man into protective custody and he was admitted into a local hospital.  This is the seventh successful suicide intervention in Shenandoah in the last two years. (Emphasis added)
