On Saturday morning, August 12, 1978, 23-year-old Marc Doener of Monterey had a very memorable experience at Thompson Peak, that rises above Janesville. Doener attempted to hang glide off the top of peak. It did not go as intended. He lost control as he started to jump, the glider flipped plunging him into a 3,000 foot descent. Amazing when the Search and Rescue team found him he only sustained minor injuries, including a sprained ankle, cuts and scratches.

I remember in Freshman Orientation at LHS, 1982 when Search and Rescue came to our class. They had been around for a while. Do you know when they began and when the sheriff’s office incorporated the group into their administration? (The library is closed so I can not check.)
