Hi all,
The new District Ranger for the Guadalupe District of the Lincoln National
Forest is a gentleman named Jim Gumm. He is due to start his new job on the
20th of June. Mr. Gumm has a MA in Organizational Communications and a BA in
Industrial Technology. His last assignment was a the Public Affairs Officer
at Modoc National Forest. He has been with the FS since 2008. Prior to that
he was Deputy Director of Operations, Louisiana, FEMA. He also spent 14 years
in the USAF as an Explosive Ordinance Disposal Technician/Manager.
He and his wife have family in Albuquerque and have been frequest visitors to
the state.
Personal note: It is my understanding that Mr. Gumm has had very little (if
any) exposure to caves or cavers. It will our job to insure he understands the
importance of the caves and the preservation of the caves in the LNF.
I will attempt to get an appointment to visit with him soon after his arrival
to voice our concerns over the caves and the management of those caves.
Ken
