MOUNT RAINIER NATIONAL PARK Support Pours In For Anderson Family, Park Staff
From NPS Incidents:
Family and park staff are receiving an
overwhelming outpouring of support in the aftermath of the horrific
events surrounding the fatal shooting of Ranger Margaret Anderson. The
support of park employees and Margaret’s family is now the primary focus
of park management.
Several teams have been brought in to
provide assistance and relief to park staff – a CISM team of six lead by
Dirk Wiley, SETT Team 3, and the Western IMT lead by Denny Ziemann and
Kevin Killian. Additional staff and resources from several national
parks and agencies continue to provide assistance. The park continues to
work with the FBI and Pierce County Sheriff’s Department on the
investigation into the incident.
The park is reopening to the
public on Saturday, January 7th, after remaining closed since the day of
the shooting. The park family is using the time during the closure to
begin the recovery.
Plans for a memorial service next week are
underway with the date to be determined. The family is requesting
donations to the Margaret Anderson Fund at KeyBank in lieu of flowers. Additional details will be provided on specifics of making donations as soon as it is available.

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.
