Thanks, Fritz!
Here's the scoop: I'm transferring to Big Thicket
Have you ever found a long lost caver on Facebook ?
I did the other day.
Joe Galewsky. He was an active Aggie Caver around 1986 or 87.
I will try to get him to write something.
He is now a professor of Earth Science in New Mexico

2.The NSS auction
3.The turnout at the consignment sales.
4.Caving trips at TCC, CWAN, Golondrinas, Wind Cave, etc.

I think Vermont will be a nice vacation though I really don't see myself
doing much caving there. The Czech Republic would be nice to get back to,
I've only gone there for air shows though unfortunately I'd prefer to spend
5K on more caving / diving gear.

OK, so I'll add a story that's similar to Andy's...awhile back we had
a DFW grotto trip into a water cave and Bill supplied a number of
people with his famous red Whisk laundry detergent bottles as floats.
The older cavers out there (that includes me) will remember those old

Probably no more than he likes rocking them!
Good story! :-)

Hif the Terminal Siphons didn't already have prior use of the term,

This may not count as rocking per se:
I was on a trip with Bill Steele and others upstream from the natural
entrance in Honey Creek. He had a lanyard attached to his boogie board and the
end trailed behind him a few feet, just enough for me to grab ahold and catch a
free ride. He would
Next month I will be 50 years old. About 5 years ago I had the opportunity to

Ok, all y'all can relax now. I've quit rocking packs. The pinnacle of my
rockin' career was Frank Binney
last week and James Brown this week. I'm going to quit now. So, you don't need
to guard your packs. Don't
practice rock paranoia in other words.
