What was the scariest or most stressful thing that ever happened to you? What helped you to get through it?
As a young teenager it was going into an old mine shaft that freaked me totally out. I was lucky to have a good leader that knew when I was ready to turn around even though I didn’t say anything to that nature. He just apparently knew how to read my body language or possibly even that of others in the group. There were some who would have loved to go all the way through the mountain to the other side where it came out but I was not one of them. I just knew in the dark that there would suddenly be a hole that dropped for hundreds of feet that was not there when the mine was made. I have never been totally at home in any tight and dark place. Not even “Nutty Putty cave” which I guess my fear of that place actually became more acute when it was closed for the very reason that I didn’t like it. Someone got stuck and died in it when the rescuers could not get him out.
