TCA and Internet Truckstop will tell Cass’ story to an audience at the Famous Idaho Potato Bowl game, which will be held Dec. 15 at 2:30 p.m. MST at Bronco Stadium in Boise, Idaho. Cass will also be on hand at the game and honored in front of the 34,000 fans in attendance with a trophy saluting his actions.
Cass is served in the U.S. Coast Guard for 24 years before becoming a driver, and, says TCA’s chairman Robert Low, Cass “showed that his experience with the U.S. Coast Guard was used to keep calm and act quickly in this particularly stressful situation. I applaud the capable way he handled this event.”
