Bob

inventive imagination. He and Susan were married October 10, 2004.

Larry Atlas - Wisconsin
lost a pioneer in the area of technical rescue,
just at the time when so many public safety agencies, fire and law
enforcement alike,
are beginning to understand the need to become involved in these specialized
disciplines.
Whether it was ice rescue, swiftwater rescue, rope rescue or wilderness
SAR, our founder,
Larry Atlas, had the foresight to recognize the tremendous need for
expanded training in all of these areas. Larry passed away
after a brief battle with cancer on January 2, 2003. He will be
missed by family and friends, more than words can express.
