just glad I survived your visit!

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,

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.
