Yes, that's her. She was very knowledgeable and helpful. If I heard wrong and 
she is still in Fort Stockton, she would be a good person to talk to.

The first part of this message may only be useful peripherally. The last part 
will be directly useful to you and perhaps may other Texas cavers.

About 25 years ago the manager of the Annie Riggs Museum in Fort Stockton was 
quite knowledgeable about the spring. I'm drawing a blank on her name but she 
is no longer there as I understand. However, the museum may have information 
about the spring. Also, it is not unusual for some old-timer to serve the 
unofficial role of city historian in small towns. If Fort Stockton has one, the 
museum staff would know who it is.

There is a short write-up in The Caves and Karst of Texas that describes the 
cave which underlies the spring, in case you haven't already seen it.

Lastly, TSS has a bibliographic database called TexBib that anyone can download 
from the TSS website. You can then search on "Comanche Spring" and you'll get a 
list of all publications TSS knows about that mention the spring (or any cave, 
spring, author, topic, etc. involving Texas).

Howdy Texas Cavers,

My coworker is having a summer intern write a Technical Note on the history of 
Comanche Springs. She's placed a call out for all articles related to Comanche 
Springs and thought I should ask the caving community to contribute. Email me 
at andrea.crosk...@twdb.texas.gov if you have or know of material that could 
help her write the report. Also, I'll let you know when the report is done and 
how to get a copy.

Cavingly,
