INCIDENTS

93-867 - Yosemite (California) - Employee Death

Ranger Ferdinand Castillo, 76, a well-known fixture at the park's Tioga Pass
entrance for almost four decades, passed away on December 28th in Groveland,
California.  Castillo began working in the park in 1954 and had since spent
every summer greeting visitors at Tioga Pass with corny jokes, stories and
tips on enjoying the park as he collected entrance fees.  To those visitors
who passed through "his" entrance, Castillo's presence and energy provided a
special introduction to the park.  When the Tioga Road closed down in the
winter, Castillo taught swimming in San Francisco.  Plans for funeral
services have not yet been completed.  [YOSE, 12/29]

93-868 - Boston (Massachusetts) - Breaking and Entering

At 3:20 a.m. on December 27th, park dispatch received notification from a
local alarm monitoring company that an intrusion alarm had come in from the
Mose Hichborn House adjacent to the Paul Revere House in Boston's North End. 
The responding ranger found that the kitchen window had been unlatched and
broken; during a search of the house with an alarm company officer, a person
identified as C.S. was found hiding in the kitchen closet. 
C.S. was arrested and turned over to Boston police.  The house is a
cooperative site within the park.  [Jon Dick, CR, BOST, 12/29]
