Here is a post I put on the Falls Village Forum FB page. That's in Ct and also called Town of Canaan...not North Canaan but that's another story.
Thank you to all who helped with the difficult turn of events ten years ago on June 16, 2009..when teens were in trouble at the base of the Falls.
As sad as the loss of our heroic teen son Kaelan Palmer Paton's life was, thankfully no other lives were lost and his three friends were all rescued. His Memorial Service is on youtube in short segments (as will his late grandmother folksinger Caroline Paton's be after her passing this March 2019.)
