Re: [Texascavers] RE: Above ground cavers
Thank you Louise for defending disabled cavers - me for one. I would rather be crawling but sure can not do any more. I miss it very much and this list sure helps.

[Texascavers] RE: Above ground cavers
Gee Mark, maybe we're just disabled cavers who would like to go but can't. Maybe we should just shoot ourselves since, apparently, if you can't go caving, life just isn't worth living. Thank you Louise for defending disabled cavers - me for one. Sorry, I was not intending to discredit anyone. Maybe you're not really an ex-caver as long as you remain a caver at heart, especially if you have a physical limitation. That hadn't occurred to me. We all become arm-chair cavers someday, if we live that long. Mark Minton
