2022 SEPTEMBER - BIG visit, Bloomington Indiana Grotto meet
I attended the 2020SEP08 meeting of BIG (Bloomington Indiana Grotto) - to hear special guest speaker, Don Paquette discusses the importance of, and proper procedures for, successful Cave Rescue. Don gave a great example of teamwork and cooperation in the click below.
Don Paquette is a "Legend", and tonight he recalled one of those early rescues that took place in Buckner Cave in Central Indiana. Sadly, the victim in his story was left a paraplegic after a beer-drinking fall into "The Volcano" feature inside an Indiana cave, the result of two broken vertebrae, his L5 and L7.
For more about Don Paquette, watch his 2019 NSS Luminary Talks presentation, "Caves, Submarines, and Rescue "A Journey of Adventure".
