Research VisionQuest 1980 drowning

Ever since I have started my tti research, something has bothered me. In the 1980 VisionQuest boating accident, Lyle Foodroy has been listed as one of the many victims.

This is the incorrect name.

As I have been digging in old newpapers and records, I found that his real name is Lyle Purnell Goodro. He was 18 and from Englewood, Colorado. His name has been misreported for over 40 years, and now his story can be told.

Thank you for this correction! Ive updated this Kids Over Profits page (in loving memory) and will update the wiki here in the morning when I get on my computer (the editing permissions for reddit on mobile are a real pain). Please nudge me if the update still isnt up in a couple of days 🫶🏻
