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

What a wonderful man! I called him dapper Don because despite the mud and blood
he always looked so preternaturally neat and clean. I will never forget the
wonderful post convention (94?) trip to Mexico that he organized and led. We
were a somewhat fractious group, but Don kept us all on an
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,
Don doesn’t get Texas cavers. I’ve been forwarding all these wonderful messages
to him. BUT. If you cc don.brouss...@att.net on yr message he’ll get them

I’ve never caved with Don in Mexico, but he provided great help to projects at
Honey Creek, Powell’s, Sorcerers, and many others. He also came to Sonora five
times(!) to do “prison labor” hauling out tons of rock during the restoration
project there. As a personal favor, he came to Honey Creek
Allow the Weazel to chime in from the swamp. Once upon a time (94?) after the
Brackettville convention Dapper Don led a trip to Hoya de Guaguas and El
Sotano. None of us knew each other, and we were such a fractious crew that we
would surely have self destructed either by accident or on purpose
And he can cook too, was one of the Caver cooks.

Last time I was there the ticks were as thick as ants on the ground and
stampeded toward our lucious bodies. We ran away.

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
