Here's a note I got from Glenn Darilek, who was the editor of the Texas Caver back in 1973. Apparently, that was the year that it contained the most pages and/or the most issues released on-time.
Dale -------- My son Christopher emailed me the thread about when I was the editor of the Texas Caver, and that year being the largest ever. Maybe you can put this on the cavetex list, as I do not subscribe. I want to give most of the credit to the members of the Alamo Area Chapter, who did most of the work. I can still remember Karen Clement (now Kastning), Maggie Allison, Steve Fleming, Mike Walsh, John Graves, Scott Harden, Wayne Russell, Chuck Stuehme, my wife Ruth, and I know a lot others who gave one Saturday each month to get the issue out. The contributors deserve a lot of credit also. Of course, they were too numerous to mention. Perhaps the greatest credit for putting the Texas Caver back on track was James Jasek, who took care of subscriptions, printed, and mailed the Caver ON TIME every month. That was a monumental achievement by a top notch caver. It was the 1973 Texas Caver that we did. There had been a hiatus in publishing, and I don't think we got any approval or anything, but we just took the ball and ran with it. I also remember that was the year that the Texas Caver went metric (not without a few slip ups.) That was back in the day of IBM Selectric typewriters, with no word processing, spell checkers, grammar checkers, etc. We put out almost 400 pages in 12 issues and the subscription price was $4.00! Anyway, this nostalgia was a nice break in the day for me.
