All,
Concerns were raised about the 2009 ICS Convention next summe and the
additional cost for the NSS Convention banquet. The BOG found a compromise and
the ICS has accepted. There will be no additional cost for the 2009 NSS
Convention Banquet.

Of course, my experiences occurred prior to 1976 when I went back to school and
pretty much dropped out of caving in favor of studying. I'm sure things have
