I recall a trip where we were caught in a stampede of ticks in some cave on
the Shahan Ranch outside Bracketville.

Don started caving with us in Arkansas about 1964. We immediately
recognized him as hard core and most welcome. He became proficient in
no time, and was a most valuable member of any project. During the
all-too-short time he was with us we caved every weekend and some days
we should have
smiling face at the end. Don and I are almost the same age, so I’m
just glad I survived your visit!

Don Broussard
August 17
When one knows a friend is ill and perhaps not long for this physical world, it
is hard enough to say goodby and try to find peace with their passing. Our
caving community has had to do this too often this past year. Now, another
integral part of our Texas caving community is suddenly gone for
Wow, what a terrible shock. Don and I were good friends. Don was a really nice
guy. I first met Don in 1969, on a trip to Carrizal and caved with with here in
Texas. I will miss him.

Recollections of Don Broussard
Don Broussard was a frequent caving companion of mine for about 20 years
in the 1980s and ‘90s. For most of those years we were also neighbors in
Driftwood, Texas. Don was active, even legendary, in Mexican caving,
including long stints in both the Sierra de El
Thank you, Bill Steele, for saying that about Don Broussard. He was a tough
old caver, but such a sweet guy.

I first met Don Broussard in the fall of 1971 as I passed through Austin on
my way to Mexico. That was almost forty-eight years ago. He was two months
to the day older than me, something I mentioned many times. My older
friend. Don and I did a lot of caving together.
It wasn’t just caving,

August 17, 1948 – May 16?, 2019
Famous caver, Don Broussard, from the Austin, Texas area, passed away
probably on Thursday, May 16. His close friend, David Honea, had visited
Don May 6-10, and they usually spoke on the phone on Sundays, but David
could not reach Don on May 19.
When Don first appeared at a meeting of the Razorback Speleological
Society at the U. of A. in the early/mid 60s he may or may not have ever
been in a cave (my memory is equally good for last week or last
century). Upon his first trip with us (and we usually took new people
somewhere greasy
Don doesn’t get Texas cavers. I’ve been forwarding all these wonderful messages

One of the great privileges of my caving career has been to go caving with Don
Broussard, whether it be in Texas or Mexico. Not only is he a great caver and
pitches in to help when help is needed, he’s also a great conversationalist.
Ask him sometime about any one of those many Mexico caving

Don Broussard is ome of the most dedicated and capable cavers I've ever had the
pleasure of working with. From the time that 5 or 6 of us went to TAG in the
'60s until the recent Huautla expedition he's been way ahead of most of the
rest of us as someone to build a caving career after.

Last time I was there the ticks were as thick as ants on the ground and

Don is the best.
In 1989, I severely injured my eye at the rigging point of the first pit in
Cueva Cuchillo.
Lots of cavers came to help me once they realized I was injured.
Don sat patiently near me most of the night in the guest-house.
Ironically, all I can remember about that event is that
