 Mike Hennessy died on January 6, 2020.  He was a caver in the 1970's with the 
Than SWT Grotto.  Logan McNatt might have more information for your Web page.  
I hadn't realized so many cavers have passed, especially in 2019.
Thanks for the info.  Keep it up.

[Texascavers] The Hall of Texas and Mexico Cavers updated again

[William R. Elliott]

“The Hall” at http://cavelife.info/hall/hall.htm is dedicated to tributes,
biographies, obituaries, and photos about departed cavers and cave
scientists who caved in Texas or Mexico. I launched the web page on 5
September 2019 after we lost so many old friends in 2019.

I recently completed most of the tributes that I can do for now. Today, 2
February 2020, I posted 55 more pdfs, for a total of 125 pdfs (126 cavers).
We still have 34 “lost cavers,” meaning we don’t have much information on
them yet. Please check them out on the website and help me find more
information.

Carl Kunath is recognized for writing many caver obituaries and tributes
accompanied by his great photos. Susan Hardcastle Beaty, Dale Pate and
Frances Fehribach assisted me with difficult research into obituaries, news
articles and death certificates. Ron Miller authored a web page in 2010, *In
Memory of Texas Cavers*, from which I borrowed information. Thanks to the
91 folks who wrote tributes and provided photos over many years––their
names are listed on the web page.

I was asked to write another article on this project for the next *Texas
Caver*. I will summarize what we know about some of the remarkable cavers
we have known, and give some caving safety information.

 Bill,
Marcia Cossey, also known as Marcia Cossey-Littlestar, born in Waco, May 
29,1956, died in Austin, TX., January 24, 2007, and Paula Good, born January 
22,1954, died in Longview, TX., July 29, 2018.  Both were active cavers from 
the grotto associated with the institution in San Marcos, formerly known as 
Southwest Texas State University.  Marcia was grotto president in the mid 
1970's.
Thanks, John Chelf

 Dear cavers,
I have uploaded a lot of new material to The Hall of Texas and Mexico Cavers -- 
I think 14 obituaries and tributes for cavers who passed away over the last 
four years, and info on 54 cavers in all. 
Go to http://cavelife.info/hall/hall.htm
It takes time to find this info, but I have more to add to the years before 
2016. Also see In Memory of Texas Cavers at https://www.cavetexas.org/rmiller/  
last updated in 2010. It is part of the TSA website.
Please help show respect for our departed friends by checking it out and 
sending me additions and corrections. I would appreciate it very much.
Thanks to all,
