I didn't know John Cooper personally, but a year and a half ago we made a connection between a couple of caves in Burnsville, Virginia and found his NSS number carbided on the wall near the connection point. We looked him up and sent him an email with the news. He responded positively and remembered his trip there. He was surprised we had made the connection, which they knew was close but was out of reach until modern technology for widening came on the scene. Too bad he's gone.
