Re: [Texascavers] New material on The Hall of Texas and Mexico Cavers

[William R. Elliott]

I forgot Scott Harden, of course. I knew him and was saddened by his loss.
I will try to search for his name soon.

It is good to have this web page because we tend to forget people after 5
or 10 years. They are not here to remind us any more.

I must say that researching departed cavers has been enlightening to me,
because they represent so much talent and varied experience. Ed Alexander's
obituary 10 years ago in the Texas Caver was very nice, but it lacked
anything on his very illustrious early caving career. So I wrote up his
caving history and tagged the obituary on there too.

One that I am working on lately is A. Richard Smith, a good friend, amazing
caver and TSS stalwart for many years. Recently I found the earliest known
pencil draft of a Mexican cave map in the AMCS flat files,  by Dick from
Sótano del Arroyo. His loss in 2001 was a huge shock to many of us.
Probably many of us just kind of put his memory away for awhile because it
was too painful.  I have gathered interviews, obituaries, and other neat
stuff about Dick Smith, coming soon.

[Reddell, James R]

I don't see Scott Harden's name on your list. George Veni probably has 
information.

Dear Texas Cavers,

Sorry that I won't be at the Texas Caver Reunion this year. However, I just 
posted nine additional biographies and obituaries on The Hall of Texas and 
Mexico Cavers at http://cavelife.info/hall/hall.htm   Mostly this goes back 
through 2007, but some are earlier.

Let's remember the 10th anniversary of these cavers passing away:

Ed Alexander, Dick Beauchamp, Jack Burch and Carl Ponebshek. New material on 
them was posted. I must thank Carl Kunath for publishing many obituaries in the 
Texas Caver over the years. With help from friends I also found more 
information on:

Marcia Cossey Littlestar (need her photo),  Louise Power (got an additional 
photo), Thomas Summers, and a recent death, Lee White.

I'm still lacking details on these lost cavers: Chip Carney, George Sevra and 
Jerry Cooke. See them listed with a few clues at the bottom of the web page.

I now have digital files of 20 years of the NSS News, all of the AMCS 
newsletters except the last three years, and some recent Texas Cavers.  I have 
special software that can rapidly search these files for the name of a person, 
cave, or area. So, this is useful for several things. Let me know if I can help.

Thanks all,

William R. (Bill) Elliott

[Texascavers] New material on The Hall of Texas and Mexico Cavers

[William R. Elliott]

Dear Texas Cavers,

Sorry that I won't be at the Texas Caver Reunion this year. However, I just
posted nine additional biographies and obituaries on *The Hall of Texas and
Mexico Cavers* at *http://cavelife.info/hall/hall.htm
*   Mostly this goes back through 2007,
but some are earlier.

Let's remember the 10th anniversary of these cavers passing away:

Ed Alexander, Dick Beauchamp, Jack Burch and Carl Ponebshek. New material
on them was posted. I must thank Carl Kunath for publishing many obituaries
in the Texas Caver over the years. With help from friends I also found more
information on:

Marcia Cossey Littlestar (need her photo),  Louise Power (got an additional
photo), Thomas Summers, and a recent death, Lee White.

I'm still lacking details on these lost cavers: Chip Carney, George Sevra
and Jerry Cooke. See them listed with a few clues at the bottom of the web
page.

I now have digital files of 20 years of the NSS News, all of the AMCS
newsletters except the last three years, and some recent Texas Cavers.  I
have special software that can rapidly search these files for the name of a
person, cave, or area. So, this is useful for several things. Let me know
if I can help.

Thanks all,

*William R. (Bill) Elliott*
