Volunteer Options
Volunteer stewardship is the cornerstone of CFI's peak preservation work. For the last several years volunteers have put in more than 1,000 days over CFI's four-month field season helping protect the Fourteeners. Volunteers perform needed trail stewardship and education work to meet CFI's preservation goals. The in-kind value of volunteer labor counts toward meeting CFI's matching requirements for many grants. Here are ways you can help.
Trail Construction and Restoration
Trail and restoration projects provide hands-on opportunities for individuals to help CFI, including building new, sustainably located summit trails, closing and revegetating unplanned trails, and performing annual maintenance on heavily used trails. Projects protect native alpine plant communities, while keeping summit trails in good shape for Fourteener hikers.

Hiker Education and Outreach
Volunteer "Peak Stewards"represent CFI at community outreach events and play a key role educating and monitoring the estimated 500,000 hikers who climb the Fourteeners every year. Ensuring that Fourteener hikers know about—and follow—Leave No Trace practices is vital to protecting the rare and fragile alpine tundra ecosystems found on these peaks.
Group Projects and Corporate Partnerships
Through CFI's Adopt-a-Peak program, organized groups—businesses, hiking clubs, schools, youth camps, etc.—commit to help maintain a Fourteener by providing at least 20 person-days of volunteer labor annually. Projects include regular maintenance on the peak's standard route, repairing trail structures that have deteriorated, and revegetating denuded areas.

[…] Recently Victoria Collier wrote the cover story in November's Harpers "How do Rig an Election" where she explores the intimate relationship between candidates and the few companies that provide the machines and software that tally votes. Does this mean that employers will really be able to see how their employees vote? There have been complaints that higher education has been coercive in indoctrinating students with Liberal curriculum in the US for years, but could our old professors really see how we end up voting? Can votes be manipulated by a few? […]
Those of us who've faced the ugly truth about America's voting system, yet still believe it possible to wrest that system from the clutches of the right (despite the criminal inattention of the Democratic Party, and most progressives), suddenly have something we can cheer about at last, and send out far and wide ASAP: "How To Rig an Election," Victoria Collier's excellent cover story in the November Harper's.
If you've not been paying attention to the radical subversion of electoral democracy in the United States these last 12 years, this piece will blow your mind, and probably depress you; but if you don't shake that off, and move to spread the word right now, by sending everyone you know this must-read article, you'll have to share the blame for what will very likely happen (again) on Nov. 6, whether it befalls the presidency, Congress or some statehouses (or all of the above).
Brava to Victoria, then; and hurray for Harper's, whose editors and publisher have shown us once again that they are brave enough to face an issue as important as it is neglected. (This new piece is a sort of sequel to "None Dare Call It Stolen," the cover story I wrote for them six years ago.) The only other US magazine that's shown the same intelligence and courage is Rolling Stone.
Harpers Magazine cover story: "How to Rig an Election"
by ivorysteve
My copy of the November Harper's Magazine arrived today, with a surprisingly front-and-center article on the state of America's vote-counting technology. It's a well-researched piece, with much of it depressingly familiar to many progressives who followed the tin-foil-hat-tainted theories of the 2004 election. It reviews the recent history some of us know: the ESS&S / Diebold coziness, Bev Harris and hackable GEMS system, the Help America Vote Act Trojan horse, Chuck Hegal, Max Cleland, the exit poll disparities in Ohio and elsewhere in 2004 that all exhibited a "red shift" to the Right.
The article then brings things up to date.
Some argue that the Democratic victories in 2006 and 2008 disprove the existence of the red shift. However, this may be a misinterpretation of complex political upheavals that occurred in each of those election years…. Post-election analysis did in fact suggest extensive red-shift rigging. But in both election cycles, these efforts simply failed to overcome eleventh-hour events so negative that they drastically undercut the projected wins for the G.O.P.
Those events were Mark Foley's exposure (and G.O.P. leadership cover-up) in 2006 and the collapse of Lehman Brothers in 2008. But in 2010, the article details how the victories of Scott Brown, Rick Scott, Scott Walker, and Jim DeMint each left evidence that the computer-counted tallies were suspect.
3 Comments to ""How to Rig an Election" — Victoria Collier's BREAKTHROUGH article in Harper's!"
Would be easier to spread the word if it weren't pay protected material. Shame on Harpers.
Not "shame," no. They barely get by, and so they very badly need the newsstand sales.

METHOD OF TREATING SEMICONDUCTOR DEVICES Filed March 20, 1968 INVENTOR A T TORNE Y 'U.s. Cl. 148-191 United States Patent ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE The stability and minority carrier lifetime of a device comprising a semiconductor body covered by an insulating layer is improved by subjecting the insulating layer to an atmosphere including hydrogen chloride, while heating the device, so that a gradient is established for out-diffusion of certain deleterious metals from the device.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION This invention relates to a method for treating semiconductor devices so as to improve one or more performance parameters thereof.
In the manufacture of semiconductor devices, it is common to employ an insulating layer comprising, e.g., silicon dioxide as a protective covering on the semiconductor surface. In the fabrication of metal-oxide-semiconductor field effect devices, a thin silicon dioxide layer is employed as a dielectric to provide capacitive coupling between a selected portion of the semiconductor surface and an overlying metal (gate) control electrode.
In such applications, it is important that the insulating layer be free of contaminants which produce instabilities in device behavior.
In particular, alkali metals such as sodium, potassium and calcium which find their way into the silicon dioxide layer cause development of a residual charge or polarization which tends to produce severe instability in the operating characteristics of metal-oxide-semiconductor devices. These alkali metals, when present in a silicon dioxide layer overlying a bipolar semiconductor device, cause the formation of thin surface inversion layers which increase the device leakage characteristics and adversely affect other operating parameters.
Heavy metal impurities, such as gold, copper and iron act as trapping or recombination sites which seriously degrade minority carrier lifetime in the semiconductor material. This degradation of lifetime results in reduced gain and increased forward current dissipation in the device affected.
Prior art techniques for overcoming these contamination problems are directed to (i) methods for preventing the contaminants from initially entering the semiconductor device, and (ii) methods for removing the contaminants as close as possible to the termination of the device manufacturing process.
The former, or clean handling, methods require careful cleaning of all materials and equipment, and manufacturing and assembly operation to be carried out in a dust-free laminar flow atmosphere. Thesemethods are effective, but cumbersome to employ and'expensive because of the requirements for constant vigilance, contamination measurements and personnel indoctrination.
The latter methods involve various gettering and/or out-diffusion processes. A recently developed process, e.g., involves heat treatment with a phosphorus pentoxide glass disposed on the semiconductor surface, as described in US. Pat. No. 3,334,281. Such a treating process, however, results in the formation of a highly doped N type surface region which usually must be subsequently removed by Patented Jan. 19, 1971 etching. This is a relatively cumbersome process and is not suitable for the manufacture of devices having fine-line geometries.
Other impurity removal processes heretofore known involve heat treatment in the presence of nickel or nickel alloys. These processes are believed to improve minority carrier lifetime by reducing the number of recombination centers in the semiconductor material.
An object of the present invention is to provide a process for improving the performance characteristics of semiconductor devices by removing certain deleterious metals therefrom.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The invention is applicable to a manufacturing process in which a layer of insulating material is formed on at least a part of an operating semiconductor region of an active semiconductor element. The invention relates to an improvement in which the insulating layer is exposed to an atmospheric comprising a hydrogen halide. The semiconductor device is heated in the presence of the halide at a temperature sufficient to convert a deleterious metal in the device to the metal halide. The temperature is suflicient to volatilize the halide at the exposed surface of the insulating layer, so as to establish a gradient for outdiifusion of the deleterious metal from the semiconducto device toward the exposed insulating layer surface.
IN THE DRAWING The drawing shows apparatus useful in practicing a preferred embodiment of the process described herein.
DETAILED DESCRIPTION The apparatus shown in the drawing comprises a generally cylindrical resistance furnace tube 1 provided with an inlet port 2 and an outlet port 3. A removable end cap 4 permits insertion and removal of the wafer boat assembly 5.
The furnace tube 1 may be heated by means of a resistance coil 6, the turns of which are heated by means of a source of electrical voltage (not shown). The boat assembly 5 has a quartz surface layer 7. Disposed on the quartz layer 7 are a number of semiconductor wafers 8 which may, e.g., comprise silicon.
Gas flow into the inlet port 2 is controlled by means of a nitrogen carrier gas source 9 and a control valve 10. The carrier gas from the source 9 passes through the contrOl valve 10 and bubbles through a liquid solution 11 disposed in a suitable flask 12.
The liquid 11 preferably comprises an azeotropic or constant-boiling aqueous solution of hydrogen chloride, which is maintained at a temperature on the order of 110 C. For this substance, the azeotropic concentration is approximately 20.24% hydrogen chloride by weight. The resultant hydrogen chloride/water vapor/ nitrogen mixture enters the furnace tube 1 through the inlet port 2. The flow rate of this mixture is controlled by adjustment of the valve 10.
In order to protect the operator from any hydrogen chloride gas which may leave the outlet port 3, the outlet port is coupled to an aqueous suspension 13 of lime which is disposed in a suitable flask 14. The lime acts as a trap to remove any hydrogen chloride from the gas stream.
It is desirable to form a silicon dioxide layer 15 on each of the semiconductor wafers 8 simultaneously with the hydrogen chloride treatment. To accomplish this, the furnace tube 1 is heated to an oxidizing temperature in the range of 800 to 1300 C. The particular temperature employed will be determined primarily by the total thickness of the silicon dioxide layer desired. Oxidation of each wafer 8 is commenced by opening the valve 10 so that the gas mixture containing hydrogen chloride and water vapor enters the inlet port 2 and passes over the exposed surface of each wafer 8.
The water vapor in the gas stream rapidly reacts with the silicon surface of each wafer 8 to thermally form the silicon dioxide layer 15 thereon. Initially, some slight etching of the silicon surface by the hydrogen chloride gas may occur, but etching will stop as soon as a thin initial silicon dioxide layer has been formed to protect the underlying silicon material.
If desired, the possibility of etching may be completely precluded by initially forming a thin silicon dioxide layer by passing oxygen or water vapor into the inlet port 2 by means of a path independent of the liquid 11. The nitrogen carrier gas 9 may then be bubbled through the liquid 11 to provide the desired hydrogen chloride/water vapor mixture at a time when each wafer 8 is protected by a thin initial silicon dioxide layer.
The oxidation process may be carried out in the manner shown in the drawing until the desired thickness of the silicon dioxide layer 15 has been grown. The treatment may be continued, after the desired thickness of silicon dioxide has been attained, by passing the hydrogen chloride/water vapor mixture over the silicon dioxide layer thereafter. Since the rate of growth of the oxide layer 15 decreases as the thickness of the oxide increases, this additional treatment will have only a small effect on Oxide layer thickness.
It has been found that by applying hydrogen chloride in the manner described to a silicon dioxide layer during and/ or after growth of the layer, the stability and minority carrier lifetime of the resultant device is substantially improved.
For example, a silicon wafer was divided into two portions, both of which were lightly etched in a sodium hydroxide solution and rinsed in hot distilled water. One portion was exposed to water vapor in the normal manner to grow a thermal silicon dioxide layer to a thickness of approximately 0.12 microns at a temperature on the order of 1000 C. The other portion was exposed to the water vapor/hydrogen chloride atmosphere described above to grow a silicon dioxide layer of the same thickness at the same temperature. The wafer portions were annealed in a hydrogen atmosphere at elevated temperatures in the conventional manner. An aluminum layer was subsequently evaporated onto each silicon dioxide layer and capacitance-voltage measurements were made before and after exposure of each sample to a 10 volt bias (between the aluminum layer and the semiconductor layer) at 300 C. for about one minute.
Each sample was then allowed to cool and the resultant shift in the capacitance-voltage characteristic was measured. The sample which was oxidized in the normal manner showed a shift of greater than 22..5 volt, while the sample treated with hydrogen chloride according to the process described above showed a shift of less than 0.2 volt.
Other samples subjected to normal oxidation and oxidation in the presence of hydrogen chloride according to the process described above, showed a minority carrier lifetime improvement (as measured by the storage time technique) of a factor of 3 to 7 for the hydrogen chloride treated samples.
The substantial improvement realized by the hydrogen chloride treatment process according to the preferred embodiment of the invention is believed to be due to reaction of the hydrogen chloride with deleterious metals such as sodium, potassium, calcium (which causes residual charge or polarization) and gold, copper and iron (which reduces minority carrier lifetime). The hydrogen chloride reacts with these, and possibly other, metals at the exposed surface of the silicon dioxide layer to convert them into the corresponding metal chlorides.
The resulting metal chlorides, being relatively volatile at the processing temperature, leave the silicon dioxide surface. This process establishes a gradient for out-diffusion of the metallic contaminants from the semiconductor wafer through the silicon dioxide layer, and from the exposed surface of the silicon dioxide layer into the surrounding atmosphere.
This out-ditfusion reaction, i.e. conversion of the metal contaminants to the corresponding metal chlorides and volatilization of the chlorides at the exposed surface of the silicon dioxide layer, may be carried out at temperatures in the range of 600 to 1200 C.
Since the other halides of the metal contaminants are also volatile, other hydrogen halides may be used instead of hydrogen chloride. In the case where silicon dioxide is employed as the insulating material, hydrogen bromide and hydrogen iodide may be substituted for the hydrogen chloride. Hydrogen fluoride cannot be used in this case since it etches silicon dioxide.
In addition to utilizing silicon dioxide as the insulating or dielectric materal disposed on the semiconductor wafer surface, other insulating materials which may be treated in accordance with the invention are Si N A1 0 SiO, Ta O N-b O HfO Zr0 and combinations thereof.
The process described herein, by removing impurity centers from the insulating layer, improves the radiation resistance of the resultant device,
In addition to silicon, other semiconductor materials such as germanium, gallium arsenide, gallium phosphide and other III-V or IIVI semiconductor materials may be protected by an insulating layer and treated with a hydro gen halide in the manner described herein to improve the operating characteristics of the resultant device.
Rather than thermally growin the silicon dioxide or other insulating layer, the insulating layer may be pyrolytically deposited from the vapor phase. In such cases it is usually desirable to densify the pyrolytically deposited material by heat treatment. Where such a pyrolytic deposition process is employed, it is preferable to employ the hydrogen halide heat treatment process described herein after the insulating layer has been deposited but before it has been densified. The reason for this procedure is that the densificd layer is less permeable to out-diffusion of the metallic contaminants to be removed, so that improved processing is obtained if the contaminants are removed by diffusion through the relatively permeable undensified insulating layer.
For example, silicon nitride may be pyrolyitically deposited on a silicon substrate by vapor phase reaction of silane (SiH and ammonia (NH at a temperature on the order of 500 to 700 C. The hydrogen chloride heat treatment described above may be carried out (in this case preferably in an atmosphere free of water vapor) at a temperature of 60 to 800 C. After the hydrogen chloride treatment is completed, or during hydrogen chloride treatment, the silicon nitride layer may be densiggg by heat treatment at a temperature on the order of Where, according to the preferred embodiment of the invention, a silicon wafer is subjected to a mixture of steam and hydrogen chloride to simultaneously oxidize and remove deleterious metal ingredients from the semiconductor wafer, the ratio of steam flow rate to hydrogerr chloride flow rate is determined by the composition of the constant boiling or azeotropic hydrogen chloride aqueous solution.
What is claimed is:
1. In a process for manufacturing a semiconductor device, comprising the steps of:
providing a substrate of a semiconductor material and forming a layer of insulating material on a given surface of said substrate, said device iocluding at least one deleterious metal ingredient,
the improvement comprising:
simultaneously with the forming of at least a portion of the insulating material layer exposing said layer to an atmosphere comprising a hydrogen halide; and heating said substrate to a temperature suflicient to connect said metal to the metal halide and to volatilize the halide at the exposed surface of said insulating layer, thereby establishing a gradient for outdilfusion of said metal from said device toward said exposed surface.
2. The improvement according to claim 1, wherein said layer comprises silicon dioxide and said atmosphere comprises hydrogen chloride, hydrogen bromide or hy drogen iodide.
3. The improvement according to claim 1, wherein said temperature is in the range of 600 to 1200 C.
4. The improvement according to claim 2, wherein said layer is formed by thermal oxidation of said semiconductor material.
5. The improvement according to claim 2, wherein at least a part of said oxidation is carried out by passing an atmosphere comprising steam and hydrogen chloride over said given surface.
6. A process for manufacturing a semiconductor device comprising the steps of:
providing a substrate of a semiconductor material;
pyrolytically depositing a non-densified layer of an insulating material on a surface of said substrate, said device including at least one deleterious metal ingredient; exposing said layer to an atmosphere comprising a hydrogen halide and heating said substrate to a temperature sufficient to convert said metal to the metal halide and to volatilize the halide at the exposed surface of said insulating layer, thereby establishing a gradient for out-diffusion of said metal from said device toward said exposed surface; and then densifying said layer by heat treatment at a specific temperature.

WOONSOCKET, R.I., Sept. 3, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- CVS Caremark Corporation (NYSE: CVS) announced today that it is changing its corporate name to CVS Health to reflect its broader health care commitment and its expertise in driving the innovations needed to shape the future of health.
"For our patients and customers, health is everything and CVS Health is changing the way health care is delivered to increase access, lower costs and improve quality," announced Larry J. Merlo, President and CEO, CVS Health. "As a pharmacy innovation company at the forefront of a changing health care landscape, we are delivering breakthrough products and services, from advising on prescriptions to helping manage chronic and specialty conditions."
CVS Health includes the company's retail business, which continues to be called CVS/pharmacy; its pharmacy benefit management business, which is known as CVS/caremark; its walk-in medical clinics, CVS/minuteclinic; and its growing specialty pharmacy services, CVS/specialty. With 7,700 retail pharmacies, 900 walk-in medical clinics, a leading pharmacy benefits manager with nearly 65 million plan members, and expanding specialty pharmacy services, CVS Health enables people, businesses and communities to manage health in more affordable, effective ways.
"Each year, CVS Health touches more than 100 million people by playing an active, supportive role in each person's unique health experience and in the greater health care environment," said Merlo. "Consumers are increasingly taking control of their own health and, through our 26,000 pharmacists and nurse practitioners, we are helping people on their path to better health."
CVS Health has a portfolio of programs to help people manage chronic disease and connects patients with pharmacists who help them stay on their prescribed medications. Digital capabilities are supplementing these programs to give customers a full view of their prescriptions. CVS Health's Specialty Connect and Maintenance Choice programs integrate the company's mail and retail capabilities, providing choice and convenience for patients. CVS Health is also forging strategic alliances with physicians and health plans through both CVS/pharmacy and CVS/minuteclinic to provide clinical support, medication counseling, chronic disease monitoring and wellness programs for their members.
As a further demonstration of its commitment to health, CVS Health also announced the end of tobacco sales at CVS/pharmacy as of September 3, nearly a month ahead of the previously targeted date of October 1. In February, the company announced that it would end the sale of cigarettes and tobacco products at its CVS/pharmacy stores, making CVS/pharmacy the first and only national pharmacy chain to take this step in support of the health and well-being of its patients and customers.
"Along with the start of CVS Health, the sale of cigarettes and tobacco products at CVS/pharmacy ends today. By eliminating cigarettes and tobacco products from sale in our stores, we can make a difference in the health of all Americans," Merlo declared.
"The sale of tobacco in a retail pharmacy conflicts with the purpose of the health care services delivered there," added Troyen A. Brennan, M.D., M.P.H., Chief Medical Officer, CVS Health. "Even more important, there is evidence developing that indicates that removing tobacco products from retailers with pharmacies will lead to substantially lower rates of smoking with implications for reducing tobacco-related deaths."
Results of a new study from CVS Health, included in a Health Affairs blog, show that the enactment of policies to eliminate the sale of tobacco products at retailers with pharmacies in San Francisco and Boston was associated with up to a 13.3 percent reduction in purchasers of tobacco products.
"Today should mark a call to action by all retailers involved in health care," said Matthew L. Myers, President, Campaign for Tobacco-Free Kids. "We urge other retailers with pharmacies to follow the powerful example set by CVS/pharmacy and end tobacco sales."
In addition to removing cigarettes and tobacco products for sale, CVS Health kicked off a comprehensive and uniquely personalized smoking cessation campaign to help millions of Americans to quit smoking.
"Quitting smoking is one of the most important things you can do to improve your health and protect the health of your family, but quitting isn't easy," said Helena Foulkes, President, CVS/pharmacy.
The CVS Health smoking cessation program, designed with input from national experts, combines the efforts of CVS/pharmacy, CVS/minuteclinic and CVS/caremark to help smokers quit and includes four critical components: an assessment of the smoker's readiness to quit, education to give smokers the information and tools they need to quit, medication support to help curb the desire to use tobacco and coaching to help individuals stay motivated and prevent relapses.
"We learned following our announcement in February that nearly everyone has a tobacco story and was eager to tell it," Photo - http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20140902/142228Foulkes continued. "So, today we are launching a social campaign – #OneGoodReason – in which we are inviting everyone to share their personal stories of how smoking and tobacco use has affected their lives. Our hope is that through the sharing of these stories we can spark a movement that will make lasting improvements in health across our country."
"Today, as CVS Health, we are tobacco-free, reinventing pharmacy and taking our place among leaders in the health care community," Merlo concluded.

Grieving family and friends of a man who vanished more than 20 years ago believe he was murdered by his ex-girlfriend's father and his car disposed of at a wrecking yard, a coroner's inquest has heard.
Terence Charles Hendry set off from his parents' home in Christchurch with no cash and limited fuel in his car on the afternoon of June 20, 1991.
The 32-year-old told them he was going to the post office to withdraw some money. He and his car have never been found.
Police investigating the case have made many appeals to the public for information but have been unable to solve the mystery.
Hendry could have been murdered, committed suicide or died accidentally, investigators said.
Yesterday, a coroner's inquest in Christchurch heard that family and friends believed Hendry had been annoying his ex-girlfriend and her father had killed him.
Giving evidence, Detective Sergeant Al Lester said a family member had phoned the ex-girlfriend's father to question him about Hendry's disappearance and received an abusive response.
Hendry's late father, John, also visited a wrecking yard where the man worked because he "was concerned this may be how the car was disposed of".
He was refused entry to look for parts of his son's car.
The family had little evidence to support their claims, Lester said.
"One of those reasons was based on an alleged statement by [the man] on 30 April 1991 to John Hendry that Terence had been bothering his daughter, that Terence's behaviour had gotten out of hand and something had to be done."
After publicity about the case last year, the man walked into the Kaikoura Police Station "in a very excited state . . . and repeated over and over again that the police shouldn't be opening this case - it wasn't a murder, it was a suicide - and that was the end of it", Lester told the inquest. At the time, police had never spoken to the man.
However, Hendry's family had previously confronted him with their suspicions.
A week later, a team of investigators travelled to Kaikoura and the man and members of his family were formally interviewed.
The man said he had been at his daughter's home when Hendry turned up unannounced the weekend before he disappeared. Hendry walked through the house and said "I should be here" before he was asked to leave.
"Before leaving [the man] stated Terence said to him 'I'm going, you'll never see me again - nobody will'."
The man's story conflicted with a statement provided to police by his daughter, who said her father was not there when Hendry turned up.
"We interviewed the [man's] current wife. She said that given his age he'd got it mixed up."
Hendry had visited the couple at their home about the same time, she said.
Lester recalled that the man, now aged in his 70s, was able to provide precise answers to police when he was questioned last year.
"He certainly believed or wanted me to believe that what he said was true.
"He was quite emphatic on a number of occasions throughout the interview that he was the last person to see Terence alive which, given he went missing a week later, has always stuck in my mind . . . as being an unusual comment to make."
The man denied having any involvement in Hendry's disappearance, Lester said.
"Although these matters caused suspicion they are hearsay and a lot of it isn't admissible evidence" in a criminal court.
In 2010, Lester reviewed the case after it emerged police had failed to report Hendry's disappearance and presumed death to the coroner.
Inquiries revealed Hendry had mental health issues and a long-time obsession with his ex-girlfriend.
Chief Coroner Judge Neil MacLean said it was "blindingly obvious" that Hendry was dead.
He adjourned the hearing and imposed an interim order for suppression of the names of those Hendry's family believed were involved in his disappearance. They would also have the chance to provide evidence, MacLean said.
After the hearing Lester said: "There are people who know what's happened to Terence Hendry and it would be very appropriate for those people to come forward and take all that uncertainty away from the family."
"If anybody has been involved in foul play that person or people need to to be brought to justice in the interest of fairness to society," he said.
Anyone with information is asked to call Lester on (03) 363 7400, or Crimestoppers, anonymously, on 0800 555 111.
Terence Hendry left his parents' home in Tabart St, Woolston, about 4.30pm on June 20, 1991.
The 32-year-old was driving a dilapidated orange Datsun 120Y, registration HS359.
It was hand-painted and had no front passenger seat.
Police established he never made it to his destination, the post office about 2 kilometres from his parents' home.
Hendry suffered from mental illness.
He left behind his medication and all of his possessions, including a passport.
He was known to holiday on the West Coast and in Kaikoura.

Recent reviews
Excellent 4.5 /5 from 92 reviews
The hotel room itself was perfect but the staff service was very disappointing. They were unhelpful, confusing, and did not provide the customer service I would expect for the amount of money I spent for one night. Also, the photos of the rooms were misleading. I believed we reserved one of the more superior rooms according to the website but it was not the room I expected. Nonetheless the hotel room was nice the location was confusing, unappealing and staff were useless.
