I image he has family or friends who have news,.
Wouldn't he have asked the group to be more involved
if he had wanted? One of the first things one would do
before venturing on such a trip would be to appoint
someone to monitor the progress of the trip. He would
at least have informed someone of his plans. Just
because it wasn't someone on the group doesn't mean he
hasn't done it. If he hasn't done it... well. Has
anyone emailed him?
