Congratulations!

[Alfred Hendrickson]

Well deserved. Accolades to you, Ric.

Ric has many amazing qualities. Among them is his stamina. Lesser mortals gave up on this mystery long ago. Not Ric.

[Bill Mangus]

Patience and perseverance pay-off.  Congratulations Ric!

[Ric Gillespie]

Thanks guys, but the credit should really go to all the expedition team members, researchers, analysts, and contributors who make what we do possible.  I get the fun of telling our story.

[Dave Potratz]

Kudos to the entire team!  Well deserved in all regards, and an entrée to the chapter ahead! 

[Tim Gard]

Congratulations to you Ric and to your team as well.

[Jeff Lange]

It just reaffirms what the rest of us Tighar members have known all along- that Ric and Co. lead a well run and factual research based organization that is an open book to all. I'm proud to be involved with all of you and fully believe in what Tighar stands for. Let's make 2015 the year we find Amelia and Fred!

[Randy Conrad]

Congratulations!!! Ric!!!
