Wow, Ron. What an amazing story. I'm going to print it out and share it with my students - thank you SO MUCH for sharing it!

I was in the Sunnyside several times in 1970s, long before the accident with Lake Emma, but it was only for a look-around, not any work.

Thinking back to that reminded me that, in the 1970s, it was actually hard to get underground as a woman because it was considered bad luck to have a woman underground. I remember sitting out a trip underground at a zinc mine in northern New York State back in 1973. I've since been in that mine several times, but back then, it was impossible!
