Show Thursday, January M others TOOELE (AP)janeen share a painful bond Den-nis.a- Connie Etherington share a sense of pam and he!nl.nAce r kio.t UUU no one else could understand. "I experienced everything she's experiencing, I felt everything she was lccmig, uennis said, her voice breaking with emotion after the pair had embraced. "My heart went out to her." . Like Etherington, Dennis once waited endlessly frustrating hours outside an abandoned mine shaft in the foothills of Tooele County for word of her son's fate. Like Etherington, she once faced the agonizing prospect of never seeing her son alive again and never seeing his body. On Sept. 22, 1989, her son Joshua, then 10 years old, disap- peared while exploring an old mine east of Stockton with his father and other members of a Kearns Boy Scout troop. He was found five days later dehydrated and weak, but alive in an ore cavity 2,000 feet inside the tunnel. The night before he was found, Joshua's mother and father, Terry, 'were sitting inside a Tnnplp mntfl room planning his funeral. "I'll never forget that night," Janeen Dennis said in an interview Tuesday morning. "We came to the conclusion that he must be dead." She called Joshua's Scout leader, Kevin Weaver, and asked him to speak at the funeral. "I remember he and I both sobbed as we discussed the plans." Dennis said the most painful aspect of the ordeal was the possibility that Joshua would never be found, that no body would be recovered. "It's very hard. I felt as Connie does that I needed to know he was really dead." When Etherington's son, Jeremiah, fell into an abandoned mine shaft east of Stockton on Saturday, Dennis said she was overwhelmed with memories. When the search for Jeremiah was called off Monday night, she was overcome with grief and sympathy for the boy's mother. "It was heartbreaking for us," Dennis said. "I know how she must be suffering." Earlier Monday, Dennis had quietly visited the site of the rescue effort, meeting with Jeremiah's U-3- tion.

"I went through that. I remember being told to stay off the area. When I was finally allowed up to the area where rny son was, it was the most peaceful feeling. Just being close, that's all I wanted. She (Connie) felt the same way." On Monday, authorities allowed Etherington to remain at the mine opening while crews continued their search of the shaft. Joshua, now 16, has tried to put his experience behind him, Dennis said. In fact, when the news broke about another boy lost in a Tooele County mine, Joshua became worried that reporters might try to talk to him.
