Dave's grandmother Jane died last Friday at 96. She was feisty and outgoing and gregarious. She was also a caver. As a member of the National Speleological Society, she helped map caves worldwide. She set a record in her age group for descent into a cave by rope. She was a member of The Explorer's Club. There's even a cave named for her in Meramec State Park, Missouri [another photo].
Four years ago, St. Louis's KETC featured her in a story about Missouri cavers. She shows up at 3:25. Check out her awesome jacket of patches collected on her expeditions:

She sounds like an amazing person. Thank you for sharing that video.
I was pretty happy to discover it.
