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 or chert crawly) we immediately recognized him as a
tough, smart "real caver" and brother well met. He was with us as SRT
penetrated the Ozarks and we taught ourselves largely by trial and
error. He was always a most welcome member of all of our projects and
he added a lot to the state files. We begged him to stay but the outer
world beckoned. The best thing I ever did for caving was to encourage
him early on. Keep it up, Don, and I'm still saving you a place in our
current projects.
