PARKS AND PEOPLE
FLETC (GA) - National Park Ranger Integrated Training Program Class 203 (NPRI-203) graduated from the Federal Law Enforcement Training Center on June 4th. Superintendent Tomie Lee of Glacier Bay NP&P was the keynote speaker; special agent Dennis Burnett (NPS law enforcement administrator) and USPP sergeant Scott Dahl also assisted training manager Tom Cherry in the presentation of graduation certificates and credentials. As the second class to receive training under the new six day work-week program, the rangers established some very high standards for subsequent classes, with superior individual and group achievements. Richard L. Browne (ROVA) was top driver with a perfect 300 score. Ranger Eric P. Provencher (LOWE) received the distinguished fitness award (equivalent to the 500 score) on the PEB, while two other students received a fitness award (equivalent to scoring above 95%) on the PEB. Jill D. Wick (MORA) was high firearms expert with a 296 out of a possible 300 points; she was joined by ten other rangers who qualified as expert shooters. John E. Hearne (NATR) was the class scholar with a outstanding 97.25 FLETC academic average He was joined by four other rangers who scored above 95% in the FLETC academic portion. Kris Eggle (ORPI) received the class nomination for the FLETC Director's Award as the outstanding ranger of the class. Grant E. Stolhand (COLO) received the NPS Director's Award, which recognizes the graduating student who achieved the highest overall average of all integrated training phases without remediating any practical exercises. Grant's final overall average was an outstanding 97.43. A total of ten rangers scored above the 95% level in the overall scoring, and the class average was a remarkable 93.94. Congratulations to NPRI-203 on a job well done. NPRI-204 is now at FLETC, with NPRI-205 scheduled to arrive on June 13th. [Don Usher, WASO-FLETC]
