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.

From NPS News:

In what has become an annual event over recent years, Cape Lookout National Seashore staff rescued over 57 cold stunned sea turtles on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday of this week.
A severe cold front pushed into the Mid-Atlantic and Southern states, causing kemps ridley, loggerhead and green sea turtles to strand themselves on park shores. Members of Cape Lookout’s resource, protection, maintenance, and volunteer staffs coordinated efforts to recover and transport all 57 turtles to safety.
The rescued turtles, several weighing close to 80 pounds, will be turned over to North Carolina Resource Commission Sea Turtle Project to be re-warmed and evaluated for injuries. After the rehabilitation process, the turtles will be released when warmer weather allows.
