Re: [Texascavers] Texascavers: Dinosaur Cave

2022-06-05 Thread Katherine Arens
k and attack
the lower passage, the slab would first need to be eliminated. We continued
pounding on it - with some care to have an escape route - and eventually
were able to lever it and chock it in a more stable situation. What all of
that ended up doing for us was open up space over the top of the slab to
crawl across and see what lay beyond. A quick look showed that the passage
took a sharp right turn and followed the trend of the lower passage. Mio
ventured in and I noticed that I could see a reflection of her light on the
pool in the lower passage. There were holes in the floor. In fact, she
remarked that the floor was not stable and there was a danger of falling
through. Several rocks were dislodged and fell into the lower passage.
About 4 meters in, the passage was blocked by flowstone, but she could see
around it into a larger space. It is almost certainly the same passage that
Kelsey traversed. This is a possible bypass to the lower level
constriction.

The new discovery is at the lowest point of the cave and the air was not
very good. We will wait until winter to organize further survey trips. We
left the cave happy, muddy, and tired.

Could everybody please spread the word that Houston Caver Kenny McGee is in the 
ICU at University of New Mexico in Albuquerque.

He had a bad motorcycle accident near Farmington and was life-flighted there ( 
I think yesterday. )

He has had surgery for numerous broken bones.

His wife Carol McGee just arrived.

I called Logan and he picked right up, we talked for hours!

I am just as cell phone phobic as he is. Late last summer I was forced to 
surrender my drug dealer style flip phone that I bought long ago on the Mexican 
border. It was declared defunct along with 3G (whatever the hell that is!) When 
I pleaded that I was a helpless old man who might need a phone for emergencies 
they (ATT) gave me a new smart phone. The minimum requirement was that I pre 
purchase $100 worth of minutes at $0.10 per minute good for one year. I keep 
the infernal device in my car and never touch it. Thus far I have used the 
phone a few times to make outgoing calls of less than one minute duration. When 
my plan expires next year I will have an unused balance of at least $90. 
Occasionally the phone rings when I’m in my car, but I have no idea how to 
answer it, nor can I see it clearly. Which side is which? I pick it up, claw at 
it, yell, and poke it with my thumbs while swerving through traffic, but 
nothing ever happens. So it is that I have yet to receive a phone call. Cell 
phones need to have Braille buttons so that blind people can text while driving!

Subject: [Texascavers] Talked to Logan

I just talked to Logan McNatt on the phone. He called me on his iphone 6. I 
told him lots of people were trying to call him or come by. He is sort of 
aware, but he cannot hear his phone ring. I coached him on how to turn up the 
volume, and he did.

The next person who sees him or talks with him on the phone, please try to 
coach him on how to unmute the bell. Also, change the ringtone to something 
really harsh, like "old phone".

My guess is his phone got muted, but he doesn't know how to unmute it. Please 
help him do that in person if possible. There are 3 buttons on the left side. 
The tiny top button can get bumped off, muting the ringtone. Just flip it up so 
the orange does not show. Also, turn up the volume (2nd button), but I had him 
do that and it is max.

He usually carries the phone in a pouch, but that darn button can get bumped. 
Happened to me once, took me forever to figure it out.

If you are going to TCR this weekend, It would be super awesome if you would 
preregister. That will make your time at the registration desk go much faster, 
and as I am not having volunteers this year, will make my headache less as well!
Registration will be open from whenever I get there after work (hopefully no 
later than 7/8pm) until 9:30pm on Friday, and from 7ish am to 6pm (when dinner 
starts) on Saturday. There will be no Sunday late-registration, so make sure 
you get there on time (or do it online before you come, then all you need to do 
is drop by for a wristband!)


Here is the web page for pre-registration:

For the record, it was NSS caver John Cochran of Albuquerque who

Here are are few more examples of ways that the plural noun for cavers
could be used:


The city welcomed the formation of hundreds of NSS cavers to its annual
convention.


A formation of tired cavers was camped down by the creek where its
waters disappeared into a narrow crack in its limestone bed.


After exiting the cave, a hungry formation of twelve cavers went into
town to meet at the Oso Grille for dinner.


The formation of cavers carefully traversed the muddy ledge above the
deep black void.


The tireless formation of ridgewalking cavers diligently searched the
hillside for the elusively reported hole.

Re: [Texascavers] Plural Nouns for Cavers -We have a winner!

For the record, it was NSS caver John Cochran of Albuquerque who submitted the

Here are are few more examples of ways that the plural noun for cavers could be 
used:


The city welcomed the formation of hundreds of NSS cavers to its annual 
convention.


A formation of tired cavers was camped down by the creek where its waters 
disappeared into a narrow crack in its limestone bed.


After exiting the cave, a hungry formation of twelve cavers went into town to 
meet at the Oso Grille for dinner.


The formation of cavers carefully traversed the muddy ledge above the deep 
black void.


The tireless formation of ridgewalking cavers diligently searched the hillside 
for the elusively reported hole.

What do you call a collection of cavers?  There are gaggles of geese, pods of

single-file when traversing (especially well protected) cave passages.  Does

SPACE SCIENCE WEEK 2021 PUBLIC LECTURE
Climate Change as Seen from Space

Is it possible to connect the frequency and intensity of extreme weather events 
with climate change? How do space-based observations of Earth support the 
latest in climate science?

Extreme weather events are constantly in the news, from devastating wildfires 
to destructive hurricanes. These natural disasters have tremendous impacts on 
our lives and economy, causing billions of dollars in damages and hundreds of 
deaths every year. With the growing availability of data from space-based 
observations of Earth, researchers are now learning to identify when some 
classes of extreme events (such as heat waves, drought, coastal flooding, and 
intense precipitation) are caused or worsened by anthropogenic climate change.

Join us for a public 
lecture<https://scienceandentertainmentexchange.us8.list-manage.com/track/click?u=e8ed2d21703b877983dcb81b3=fecf067158=82ca0a5090>
 on Tuesday, March 23, 2021 at 5:30pm ET to hear from NASA Senior Climate 
Advisor Gavin Schmidt about Earth observations from space and their unique 
perspective on climate. During the lecture, he'll explore the emerging science 
of extreme event attribution and what the next decade might hold.

This event is organized by the National Academies' Space Studies 
Board<https://scienceandentertainmentexchange.us8.list-manage.com/track/click?u=e8ed2d21703b877983dcb81b3=7109410080=82ca0a5090>.

Get Ready for the Virtual NSS Convention!
[https://cdn.ymaws.com/caves.site-ym.com/resource/resmgr/email_nss_virtual_convention.jpg]

The FREE 2020 Virtual Convention Starts
July 27, 2020


Please forward this email to anyone you feel would like to be a part of the 
first (and hopefully only) Virtual NSS Convention.

NOTE attendees do NOT have to be current NSS members.

Should you like to join the NSS, please do so 
here<https://458rl1jp.r.us-east-1.awstrack.me/L0/https:%2F%2Fmembers.caves.org%2Fgeneral%2Fregister_member_type.asp/1/0100017382e8f1a3-41ecc816-75f5-4efe-ac43-f035e2d70ba5-00/SAvav2953UtO7oVaeRA5O69eawA=172>.

How to Attend

When the Virtual Convention begins on July 27, 2020, the convention website 
[https://nsscon2020.org]<https://members.caves.org/[https://nsscon2020.org]> 
will have presentations available each day. All you will need is your laptop, 
smart phone, or tablet. On the Web site you simply “click on” the title of a 
session or presentation, and it will take you to either a page with all that 
session’s offerings or to the presentation itself. There are also buttons on 
each page to help you navigate around the website. There are at least two ways 
to get somewhere.

More info on page 10 of the 2020 NSS Convention 
Program<https://458rl1jp.r.us-east-1.awstrack.me/L0/https:%2F%2Fnsscon2020.org%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2F2020%2F07%2F2020-Program-final3.pdf/1/0100017382e8f1a3-41ecc816-75f5-4efe-ac43-f035e2d70ba5-00/pv3yFAwQ_6RfLbQsrEzdsHvhoRI=172>

I'm not sure of all the statements in the story (carbide lamps nowadays?), but 
it's a fascinating mix of history and philosophy.

Re: [Texascavers] Gypsum Mine

they knew. or chose not to.  We have that in south Austin all the time. "oh, 
there’s a hole there?”  title search should have turned up the mine;  
common sense should have tracked it.

Re: [Texascavers] Historical Question Re: Pogo

2020-04-24 Thread Katherine Arens
Carl,
the TSS archive is presently in boxes, preparatory for the move.  Does someone 
have a copy of that Reunion publication that could be pdf’ed and circulated?  I 
could do the work if i could get my hands on it

mailto:carl.kun...@suddenlink.net>> wrote:

What about the Pogo cartoon?

That’s an obscure question and has caused several rather ill-informed 
conjectures.
Without delving into detail, here’s the core of the story:

That cartoon was a brief moment of fame for the UT cavers.  When the guide book 
was in preparation for the first UT Grotto reunion in 1994, organizers Mona 
Hanna and Bill Cronenwett contacted Walt Kelly for permission to reproduce some 
of those cartoons in the guide book.  Permission was granted with no 
significant strings attached.

There is a copy of the 1994 guide book in the TSS archives.  A photo of the 
1994 reunion is on page 136 of the book 50 Years Of Texas Caving.

There were two subsequent UT caver reunions in 2004 and 2015 but no guide books 
were prepared.  There is a significant photographic record of the events.  The 
2004 Reunion group is pictured on page 498 of the 50 Years book.  Of that 
group, five are known to have recently died.

Although Bill Helmer was around at the time, he was not involved and the topic 
of his photographs is an unrelated sidebar.

Subject: [Texascavers] Historical Question

Hello Everyone,

Below is a message i received from a fellow through the grotto email the other 
day. I thought that he would have better luck solving his mystery with the help 
of all of you since my institutional knowledge does not go back this far. Ross 
is included on this email, please reply to hum or remember to hit REPLY ALL to 
keep him on the email chain since he is not signed up on the listserve.

Also Ross, if there is anyway you can share the comic strip (or part of it) i 
am sure people would be interested to see!

Thanks folks!
Kara


My name is Ross Burns, and several people on Facebook suggested that I post 
this question to your group.It concerns spelunking in the Austin area in the 
period of 1953-54.

I am a fan of the old Pogo comic strips by Walt Kelly. He frequently mentions 
real people. events, and groups in the strip. I have been reading a recent 
re-issue of the strips for 1955 and 1956. In a storyline  he published 
beginning in January of 1955, he repeatedly mentions the University of Texas 
Spelunking Team. Partly I know that he loved to play with words including 
spelunking. However the repeated mention of UT and Texas over 2 or 3 months, 
makes me wonder if there was a particular event that he was referring to.  Some 
of the characters are trying to reach the team to help rescue a frog that was 
swallowed by Albert the alligator. So, it may have been some sort of rescue or 
similar event.

Since Kelly wrote the strips well ahead of publication date, he probably 
started this storyline in November or December of 1954.

I would appreciate any information that you might be able to shed on this 
mystery.

Thank you for your time and attention.

Ross Burns

Folks, to clarify:  at the NSS site you can SEARCH first and download later.  
You can just download what you need. I looked up all versions of Bill Russell’s

THEN downloaded them.

Bill has designed his own search function. Nice for non-NSS members and for

I have been to three past presentations of CER's Dr. Kevin M. Anderson. Time

Donald,
According to Ancestry.com,  they are probably related, but only
distantly.  Both Joel Tom Meador and Joseph Thomas Meador appear in
family trees that trace their Meador lineage back to England and the
Meadow surname in the 16th century.  I didn’t pursue the connection
any further.  It is very strange that their names are so similar, and
they both lived in Texas, though from different parts.  Joel Tom Meador
was born in Tom Green County and Joseph Thomas Meador was born in
Arkansas in 1916 and lived in Grayson County, TX.

I'm attaching a letter scanned from the magazine Archaeology,

theft in WWII referring to an older relative of caver Joel Tom Meador
(who was born in 1943 and would have been too young for the war, and
died in 1986, not 1980)?  The coincidences (including the Texas home)
seem weird.  (I'd have sent this also to the Texas e-mail group, but

Folks,

I have a caving post.

I want to say how impressed I was with Lindsey Adamonski, Joe Mitchell, and Joe 
Ranzau and the many many volunteers that worked on the Robber Baron Open House. 
It was an outstanding event and incredibly well organized. Also for Elaine and 
Rob Bissett for organizing the After Open House party and degassing. I know 
that many cavers drove from Austin and Houston to attend the event as well as 
all the cavers from the San Antonio area. It is always great to see cavers - 
young and old to volunteer to support caves and caving events. THANK YOU.

I understand that more than 700 folks visited the cave, it was a major fund 
raiser which will go back into the caving community, and that there was some 
great outreach by many of the organizations present including the TSA, Bexar 
Grotto, TCMA, TSP, Master Naturalists, EAA, etc. Here is a link to an article 
in the San Antonio Express News you all may want to see. 
https://www.expressnews.com/news/local/article/Hundreds-flock-to-Robber-Baron-to-get-rare-14475886.php
 Make sure that you click through the photos and see the one of Mio Kitano who 
is covered in the Express News on a regular basis (I think she needs an agent).

I've been working with some of the folks in the Huntsville area to hold a 
similar event in Shelta Cave in Huntsville, Alabama. The Robber Baron Open 
House is a great model.

Re: [Texascavers] Let's bring CaveSim back for TCR this year

why don’t you start a gofundme site?

The owner of CaveSim would like to return to Texas for TCR this year.

Here’s a link to Cave Sim’s website: https://www.cavesim.com/. Take a look. 
It’s cool and interesting.

CaveSim came to TCR in 2013 and 2015. It was very popular. Kids did it all day 
long. Many adults did it, too. I did. It’s both educational and fun. See the 
website. There are videos and plenty of information. Read the CaveSim story.

I raised the money for CaveSim to come to TCR in 2013. I sent emails to Texas 
cavers I knew had solid jobs and could afford to donate $100 or less to bring 
something so interesting and educational about caves to Texas. Within a day or 
two the necessary amount of money was received or promised.



I am unable to ride herd on it again this year. In two days I’m going to 
Washington State to get on a cruise ship as speaker for two weeks. In September 
I’m doing the same but from Iceland to Canada.
It’s someone else’s turn to give leadership to this.



Dave Jackson, creator of CaveSim, is copied herewith. He tells me that $950 of 
the necessary $3,200 has been raised through Texas grottos. The ASS and GHG are 
to take it up at their next meetings.



Who would like to take the lead in raising the money for this? I’ll pledge $100 
to get it started, and I’m an old retired/pensioner caver.



Good caving,

Subject: [Texascavers] various NSS Convention stuff

In the event that someone publishes any of the recent post here by cavers,
I thought I would suggest some grammar corrections to Geary's
post.

1 ) The Fellows Reception
2 ) lightning   ( as opposed to:a drop in the level of the
uterus during the last weeks of pregnancy as the head of the fetus engages in 
the pelvis. )
3 ) Fellows of the Society ( or Society of Fellows ? )
4 )   Jaqueline Thomas ( goes by J. Larue Thomas  ? ) now of Alabama.
5 )  Galan Falgout was accompanied by a lady from the Huautla caving area. 
Meaning she
  came a really long way to attend the convention.


I heard a valid rumor that Maureen Handler played a roll in helping me get from 
my
motel to the registration on Sunday. I had no earthly idea why there was a 
volunteer
camped out at my motel in their car patiently waiting on me to take me to the 
high
school.My only plan was to sleep all day.It was just pure luck that I 
checked my
messages before about to doze off.   I can attest to the high school being 
a tad bit cold, because
I was so exhausted after registering, that I had to make a makeshift homeless 
shelter in
the cafeteria to try to get some shut-eye. And I did not have a blanket in 
my ridiculous
duffle bag.

I think this was my first convention to not see Roy Wessel roaming around 
somewhere.

On the topic of basking in the glory, it is sort of unusual to see so many 
people bragging of
their accomplishments.  But when, you only see someone 5 minutes per year, 
you sort
of have to cram it all in there. A typical conversation, might be, 
something like, "Hello, My
name is David, and I am just hear to be at The Howdy Party for an hour, and 
then, the other person says,
oh, I just mapped a 500 meters of virgin passage in Lech - which was located 3 
hours of hard-core
caving from a remote outpost camp where we camped underground for 4 days, and
I am here to present a slideshow on that, plus I am here to accept an award for 
saving the pristine
Deep Hollow Cave from a pipeline going thru it, saving a new unknown species of 
troglobitic asellid."

I only spent about 6 hours socializing at the convention, and probably met face 
to face with 100 or more
real cavers. It is so hard to remember names, when you only see someone for 
5 minutes per year, and
when one can't associate them, with an object or a place. For example, one 
of the people that I always enjoy seeing, I can't
remember his name.   I think I call him Elvis.  ( his partner Rita passed away 
several years ago ).   I feel that I
should not forget their names, but I do.

Someone needs to set up The Oztotl Tent at Groad Hollow in 2020 at the West 
Virginia Convention.   What
ever happened to it ?Has it been set up since the Kerrville Convention ?

I have not heard anybody talk about the beer at this convention. Many of 
the old-timers seem to remember a
convention based on beer.

Re: [Texascavers] pdf of article

2019-06-17 Thread Katherine Arens
there’s a bunch in 50 years of tx caving.  And we’re working on a longer 
obituary for nss news.  I think Susan Souby is working on Bill Mixon’s (or was 
it Don broussard’s — i’m spacy).  I think NSS News is where this is actually 
happening,.
this was just because of the preserve name.  And The Caves of Travis County 
book is almost done.  William finished the text before he got really sick and 
got it to the point where he was collecting updates from the new crowd of 
diggers.  I have about a montth’s work on it to do, waiting on Reddell for the 
rest of the Biology (which was what william would have done).

Re: [Texascavers] My "Review" of Bill Mixon

2019-05-09 Thread Katherine Arens
about 1990, but then he sold the ranch to a rancher that was more worried 
about liability.  We returned a few more times.   The last time was over 20 
years ago. ]


This post or recollections of memories is all about Bill:


At all the caving events that I attended over the last 34 years ( 30 something 
events ), Bill Mixon was there selling very interesting caving books, mostly 
about explorations in remote areas of The Sierra Madres in Mexico that he had a 
hand in editing.   I bought many of those books, and cherished them and still 
do.  I still plan to buy some more.


As you all know, Bill proofread nearly every one of them with magnifying glass 
and spoke bluntly of errors, and had no qualms of speaking negatively about an 
article if he felt it was rubbish. He edited them all before being sent to the 
publisher.


Bill was the world-authority on cave-exploring-literature and donated his 
library to the cavers of Texas to be on display at the new Texas Speleological 
Center ( which was his 5 acre ranch ).


Bill was well known in caving circles at the national level, and always wore a 
tuxedo-t-shirt to formal banquets to present awards to distinguished cavers.  I 
especially recall the one in Indiana in the long mine.


Bill did some real caving while in college - I think when he was living in 
Chicago in the mid 1960s.  Feel free to expand on that.


There is a vague trip report of the trip above in a 1985 issue of the "Texas 
Caver."

gentle curves and past some houses. Take the slight right where the road forks, 
onto the smaller road (this is N. Green Hills Loop). Follow up up the hill past 
a couple more houses and driveways until the road makes hard left turn. Go 
straight into brush lined gravel driveway, and you are there (building not 
visible from the street).

 THANKS

to AMCS, TCMA, and TSS for making the Texas Speleology Center available for the 
occasion and for working so hard on renovations to get them done in time.

he grew up in Bryan, and his dad was a geology prof at A  Before there WAS 
an A.S.S., he apparently dug his own cave and covered it on top so he could be

Re: [Texascavers] Cave Passage honoring William Russell

2019-04-21 Thread Katherine Arens
Thanks, Preston, for this.  He’d love it, especially if it’s in an “overlooked” 
and/or great muddy section.

Gary ODell tracked down that history just before WIlliam died and confirmed it 
with William, because he is doing Rockcastle county history right now.  He and 
WIlliam’s brother Philip together have pieced together the Kentucky connection: 
 1) their dad was a geologist (prof. at Texas A University) and did some work 
in the area in summers, took the boys with him; and 2)  Fort Campbell, 
Kentucky, was where william was stationed in the army before he was sent to 
germany — he started a cave club and when he was released he returned to the 
area  => yielding his early bulletin.

Gary’s book has a much cooler version . . . William approved.
thanks all

A  fine fitting tribute from Bill, the Man of Steel, to Bill the leading expert 
of the local digs and caves around Austin.


Bill Russell was one of the friendliest cavers in the world. He was also a good 
writer as I remember reading one of his cave geology papers and was knocked 
over.

In two weeks we are documenting two new caves in western KY we have been saving 
for a couple of months. One has virgen cave 50 ft. from the entrance. We will 
name a passage for Bill Russell in his memory. Not many know it but in Bill 
Russell's early caving career he caved in eastern KY in the 24  mile plus Sloan 
Valley Cave System. This was in the 1960's.

I cannot remember what pulled Bill to KY-Dr. Barr at UK? James Redell, being at 
UK to study under Dr. Barr? The Army? Lou Simpson? Or, Sloan's was simply one 
of the longest caves in the country at that time.

A Kirkwood story-one afternoon Bill Russell came over to the 1307 1/2 garage 
where I was working. A lot of UTG caving rope was stored in the garage. Bill 
pointed out that some of the rope was too close to a couple of old truck 
batteries. I destroyed the ropes touching the batteries. Someone said I should 
have saved them for vehicle towing, but I thought the risk of getting them 
mixed up with caving rope was too much.

Nope, Guys.  He HATED people who renamed known caves for no good reason, with 
"good" meaning "correcting histoircal record on ownership and location".

I have been reading my cherished copy of Bill's BITE (Biological Investigations 
of Troglobitic Eurycea) report and am ever amazed at the effort and 
thoroughness he put into it.  Even though it is almost 50 years old, it remains 
a reference of singular value and it is the treasure map that will eventually 
lead to the rediscovery of Eurycea robusta.  I just wish Bill could be here 
when we find it.

Thanks, Geary
He was doing just fine cognitively, thank god, after his 2010 stroke.  But he 
broke his hip after xmas, then was in rehab, then came home for one week, and 
got the flu and whatever.  He was almost 82, and i think he wore out after 
almost a decade of fighting.  He did everything he wanted to do, and was 
pleased at where caving in Texas is at these days.

thanks for the kind words

Katie,

I’m very sorry to hear of Bill’s passing. I know he has been in relatively poor 
health for a while. I was glad to get to meet him for the first time when I 
first came to Texas about 20 years ago. He was in his element and obviously a 
professional (I thought he might have had some groundhog in him but they don’t 
occur in the Hill County.) He made an incredible sustained contribution to 
caving in the US and Mexico and will be missed by all that new him.

Thank you for all you did for him. I know it has been hard these last couple of 
years.

Please share your favorite Bill Russell stories and photos. I'm putting links - 
if you have trouble editing, let me [bev shade] know. Photos on FB are great 
but they are low resolution, so it would be awesome to put higher resolution

hi gang,
not doing too well.  May be transferred to ICU again because his blood pressure 
dropped some while he was on dialysis.  If you come see him, ck email /

Thanks, Katie. Bill’s such a father figure to so many of us.

This morning I watched this video of Bill Stone being interviewed about the 
Huautla, Oaxaca caves. Stone starts right off talking about how Bill Russell 
figured out to go there to look for significant caves. He went, found huge 
entrances, and 54 years later we’re still exploring them.

https://youtu.be/dZ5lT8D25hU

My fingers are crossed and my thoughts are positive that he’ll be released from 
the hospital and able to attend our 2019 Huautla expedition send-off party on 
Saturday evening, March 30. If he’s there, in my remarks I’ll thank him for all 
he’s done for so many of us. If he’s not there, I’ll do it anyway.

Way more conscious.  Very tired.  Breathing solid.  They’ll probably keep the 
feeding tube in till monday — they will need to xray for his swallow (that’s 
normal — happened with his stroke, too).  Kidneys still not online yet.  But 
clear improvement.

[Texascavers] 10 am Wed. update: Bill Russell

2019-03-13 Thread Katherine Arens
Slowly slowly he creeps up being a little better.  If he stays stable, they’ll 
start getting him off the ventilator, prob tomorrow.  he’s a little more 
awake/aware (emphasize “a little”).  he knows what people are asking him, 
sometimes with a repeat.  Still in ICU.

[Texascavers] 8 am tuesday bill russell update

2019-03-12 Thread Katherine Arens
He’s still with us.  A little more conscious;  still not off vent because the 
dialysis last night bothered his heart a bit -  they’re not able to taper the 
meds off yet.  He’s fighting to stay; still not clear where we’re going.

[Texascavers] Evening update: William Russell

2019-03-10 Thread Katherine Arens
He is sedated and they did a dialysis to see if the kidneys can start working.  
He is mostly asleep.  It’s not getting better but it’s not getting worse that I 
can notice.  He is, as Jay said last evening, very very ill.

thanks, carl.  He’s woken up now and then and it looks like his blood pressure 
is stabilizing.  We hope.

Katie, thank you for the update.
That’s the sort of morning news I don’t want to hear.
I can’t think of a caving friend with more tenure than Bill.  We’ve been 
friends for at least 57 years.
Bill is a tough guy and has prevailed against a lot of problems.  I’m praying 
that he has the resources to beat this latest threat.

Please let him know that the entire caving community is pulling for him.

Subject: [Texascavers] Billl Russell in hospital

after coming home from rehab on friday, william started with a cold/flu on 
monday.  He was ok (got up out of bed into wheelchair with help), drank ensure, 
etc), but last night he spiked a fever and while it went down, he went 
unresponsive in less than an hour after the fever broke..  He’s in Dell-Seton 
unconscious, and it doesn’t look great.  just thought you folks should know.  
This has not been a good 12 months for cavers.

think good thoughts for him
