Re: [Texascavers] Teenager, 17, hopes to outdo Shackleton and walk to south pole
Oh, that would have been interesting! There would have been web pages on the "Shackleton curse." There was in fact an expedition with descendants from the Shackleton expedition, but they did reach the pole: http://www.dawn.com/2009/01/19/int6.htm http://www.shackletoncentenary.org/ And here's a TinyUrl address for the Guardian article, since it seems that it was chopped off in some e-mails: http://tinyurl.com/yd5f3fe Take care, - Fofo Stefan Creaser wrote, on 12/12/09 11:06: Are you sure it was a typo, wasn't it one of Shackleton's descendants who gave it a go?

Re: [Texascavers] Electronic in the Sky-"CAVER JIM"
Once all existing members die, the Texas Caver will become all electronic. Great plan Ellie, you're a genius! -- Lyndon Tiu - Here is another adaptation of an old KY-Illinois coal miner poem put to caving. With apologies to Vachel who wrote, "Miner Jim," and Bobby who published the poem. Caver Jim 1970: Caver Jim, you know him, Tall and straight, body strong; Before the dawn, he'll be gone, To walk four miles, cave all day long. 1980: Caver Jim, you know him, Day's caving now takes its toll; Step much slower, head hangs lower, After a day of caving. 1990: Caver Jim, you know him, It's time he faced the truth: What he can't do, a young man can; Those days have claimed his youth. 2000: Caver Jim, you know him, 'Fore they took him away; Caver Jim, you knew him; They buried him today. --- Happy Caving Holidays, Preston in Outer Browder, KY - Visit our website: http://texascavers.com To unsubscribe, e-mail: texascavers-unsubscr...@texascavers.com For additional commands, e-mail: texascavers-h...@texascavers.com
