Re: [Texascavers] water-damaged TCs and NSS News
Butch, Send me a list of the TCs you lost and I can replace those that are still in print. There are many extra copies of the NSS News in the TSS office, so send me a list of those issues you lost, too. This is contingent on your confirmation that you have fixed the water leak! ;-) Logan On 3/19/2013 11:25 PM, Butch Fralia wrote: BOG proposal to end printed NSS News I think the NSS should pursue the concept that the TSA and other organizations have.
