Re: [Mav-list] Headcount for NSS BOG meeting in DFW Metroplex this coming weekend
Bill, Tammy and I will be there, Glen hasn't said anything about showing up. We won't be camping in the back yard however.

We'd like to get an idea of who's coming on which night for the sake of having enough refreshments and snack foods. Also, is anyone planning to camp in the backyard? There's plenty of room.

Sorry Bill, forgot to include the pertinent information, it will be Saturday night. I'll ask Tammy about your invitation for the back yard :) I've know the cowtowners just as long as I've known you, and yeah, Roger is a bit strange (even for a caver). Not sure if you've noticed or not (and please never repeat this), RD runs that show, Roger is just a puppet. It works out for them I guess. See ya Saturday speleoste...@comcast.net wrote: Charles, It's nice that Tammy and you will be coming; which night? Both I hope, but Saturday night's the big shindig. Come and over-drink. Tell Glen that if he's really into caving, he'll never see an assemblage of cavers such as this one in the D/FW Metroplex again. Never before, never again. It won't happen. And what do you have against camping in our backyard? We killed the fire ants. I'll even set a tent up for you (in case you don't know how) and equip it with comfy bedding. You two might just find it romantic. And hey, what's the deal with the Cowtown Grotto chairman? What makes him so aloof? Has he caved more than me or something? I hear about third hand that he can't make it Saturday morning to welcome the officers and directors of the largest caving organization in the world, yet the other two hosting grottos will have their chairmen there, and the TSA chairman will also be there. Maybe Roger can't get off work, who knows? Or maybe there are too many honey-dos and a short leash. But I wrote him and presented a formal request for his presence and got no answer. What's with those Cowtowners, anyhow? See you whenever.

Bill, I'm still at work and it doesn't look like I'm getting out anytime soon. Say hi to all the NSS folks for me and give'em hell for us!
