Incredible!
TSA has been blessed with some wonderful Secretaries through the years but I 
believe Heather has just raised the bar another notch.  

Imagine!  Minutes made available a mere 75 hours after the meeting!

Article in the Presidio Paper about drilling for silver by the Candaiand in
Brewster County. They are down 500 feet and still going. Driving those huge
trucks around and getting out tons of silver ore. Interesting article.

I was in the mood to surf the web for new cave related topics, and just for
the sake of it, did a Google search obituary and caving and 2013.

It listed several people that passed away recently that had caving listed
in their obituaries.   One of them was a young man from Sonora, California,
named Paul Hensley.   Another was Wyatt Lewis Pasley, of Atlanta, Georgia.
   Another was  Captain Jeffrey Lee Jeff Francis, of Chattanooga,
Tennessee.

Here is the link for the group photo I took at the TSA Convention:

This will down load as a zip file and depending on your Internet speed  
it can take a while.


If anyone has a problem let me know. Once you open the image, copy it
