That's a tie! The one story was about a speleologist who died while exploring a cave in Central New York back in 1965. His remains were never recovered, until June of 2006. I got to work with amazing people during the extrication, and my story aired nationally on MSNBC. My other favorite story was covering the Flood of '06, because it made people think about their priorities and what they were thankful for. Flood victims let me into their homes with my camera to walk through several feet of water and see all the damage first-hand. It was a scary time for many people, and it was important to make their concerns heard.
