NEWS AND PHOTO SERVICE
PHILMONT SCOUT RANCH
JUNE 28, 1999
Contact: G. William Spice, General Manager
"Early in the morning of Monday, June 28, 1999, 16 year old trek
participant Jason Ploch died of an apparent asthama attack while camping
in the Harlan area. Emergency CPR was administered by the camp staff
and Philmont medical staff responded to the situation. Ploch, a native
of San Antonio, TX, was the crew chief and had completed all but the
last day of his ten-day hike."
The only things that I will add to this is that the acute asthma attack
has been confirmed by autopsy, Jason was with his father and younger
brother, and that all of us at Philmont are deeply saddened by his
death. Any death is hard to take, but the death of a Scout is
particualrily difficult. One of the Philmont chaplains is heading to
San Antonio to participate in the memorial service.
