Ronal Kerbo to retire in March 2007

[Dale Pate]

(Lakewood, CO) - Ronal C. Kerbo is the national cave management coordinator for the US National Park Service, working for the Washington office out of Denver, Colorado. He started his NPS career at Carlsbad Caverns and Guadalupe Mountains National Parks in New Mexico and Texas in 1976 as the cave resources specialist for both Parks. He spent five years at the Southwest Regional Office in cave and karst resources before assuming nation-wide responsibilities through the Geologic Resources Division.

Ron's friends and family plan on holding a retirement party/roast on the evening of Saturday, March 10, 2007 in the Denver area (this is currently a TENTATIVE date, depending on availability of out of town friends and acquaintances). The event is open to all of Ron's friends and acquaintances, whether located in Denver or elsewhere. Tim Connors (NPS-Geologic Resources Division, Lakewood, CO) and Dale Pate (NPS-Carlsbad Caverns NP) are the planning organizers for this event.

If you can attend this event and can make the March 10 date, please contact Tim Connors by phone at 303-514-1563 or by email at Tim.connors@comcast.net by no later that Wednesday, February 7, 2007 to reserve a space (yourself, guest, etc.) and to give an adequate headcount. More finalized details (time, place, cost, etc.) will be coming after February 7th once we have a headcount and better estimates of your interest in attending.
