Re: [SWR] Fort Stanton survey book
Of interest is the "font" on that survey book cover. Carl, that was my old electric typewriter "font", the one we used when publishing two years of the Texas Caver in Dallas in the 60's. Katherine Goodbar and Jacquelyn Robinson alternated every other month in typing up each issue "full justified" on offset paper masters. As editor I typed up each month's issue first, putting in "" to the end of each line. Then on the 2nd typing, Katherine (or Jackie) would randomly put in extra spaces to full justify each line. I sure was glad to buy a "home computer" in 1979 with a word processor. And in 1986, Karen and I bought a Mac with Microsoft Word that wasn't limited to monospaced fonts. A long ways from typesetting in the mid 60's! Oh yes, we still are working on improving our cave survey technology. It helps to have a dust proof Disto that shoots 280 feet when doing long survey shots with precision sketching. - Pete On Jul 29, 2013, at 8:20 PM, Carl Kunath wrote: Time flies when you’re having fun. . . .

Wow, how cool is that that Andy was on the first survey in Ft Stanton so many years ago. Congrats to everyone for a well-deserved award. Anyone going to venture back east for Convention next week? Hope so as I'll be there on Vendors Row. Stop by, say hello, have a beer, buy some pots. Helps me get out to NM to go caving in the best caves in the world with the best cavers in the world!!
