he was alone when this happened. sergeant cook happens to be from troop b, which is this area. he knew the area very well. he was still alone and was a very courageous act. i said to sergeant cook, who has two daughters, 16 and 17, i said, well, you go home tonight, and tell your daughters you are a hero. with teenager girls that will probably last a good 24 hours and then you will go back to being a regular dad as i well know. this was an extraordinary situation in many ways. the prison in dannemora is over 100 years old. this is the first escape in 100 years. if you were writing a movie plot, they would say this was overdone. you had hacksaws delivered by a facilitator in ground up meat.
