Reid Ferring. UNT officials stayed in close contact with Ferring, his family, the State Department and the private health insurance provider until he returned safely to the United States. Ferring planned on researching medieval ruins in southeastern Georgia until late August, but was evacuated with a U.S. government sponsored convoy August 11 and has since returned home.
