Re: [Texascavers] Blair Pittman news
Well, I think that's good news. --Ediger On Tue, Apr 14, 2015 at 12:15 PM, dirt...@comcast.net wrote: Blair Pittman news Long-time Texas Caver From the Terlingua Moon: 4/14/2015 Blair Pittman, who recently suffered a stroke, “is doing pretty darn well,” according to his wife, Jean Hardy-Pittman. The former long-time resident of Terlingua, who now lives in Alpine, and author of the popular “Tales From the Terlingua Porch” books will be in intensive rehab therapies in El Paso for some time, she said. But “he is very lucky,” Jean added. “His stroke was a hemorrhage, not a clot (embolism), and though it was a large bleed area,” she said last week, “it did not get into the ventricles which would have potentially caused much more damage.” And she was optimistic: “He might come out of this stronger than before.” Written by Carl Leatherwood.

Re: [Texascavers] First TCR 1978
The next year--'79 '80--I spent 7 weeks as guide, driver, interpreter in Mexico, Belize, Guatemala with Michel Siffre, Gerrard Cappa, Barb McLeod in prep for a film he was going to make and a book he was going to write.

I see that Michel Siffre and his right-hand man Gerard Cappa signed the register. I had not seen them since the 1972 Midnight Cave project when Pete Strickland and I and other cavers helped Gerard, Jacques Chabert and crew dismantle the cave camp. In '72 Gerard spoke no English and I spoke no French, so our communications about the tasks at hand were limited to primitive verbal noises, animated gestures, and crude sketches in the dirt. Since then Michel Gerard had spent a lot of time in Mexico and Guatemala, so Gerard had learned Spanish, and I knew some. We had great fun finally explaining to each other what we had been trying to say in 1972!
