Is he the guy that had the historic displays of ascenders and descenders at the NSS Conventions ? That display was interesting. ___ Texascavers mailing list | http://texascavers.com Texascavers@texascavers.com | Archives:

David, If this was intended as link for Bob Thrun, according to Gary Storrick there was no obituary in the paper (not uncommon). Bob Thrun also lived in Maryland, not Connecticut, and was 77 at the time of his passing, not 88, and just died, not in 2008… Wm From: Texascavers

Gill, If your replay has to do with Geary’s comments then this isn’t relevant to my reply. It is, however, Bob Thrun, not Thren, who just passed away 2 weeks ago. This was verified by Storrick, who personally drove over and rescued all his caving related items. Wm From:

Great. There needs to be more history and perhaps a museum of some sort. Caving has been around for a long time as we all know from all those Alley Oop cartoons. On Tue, Feb 28, 2017 at 8:44 AM, Wm Shrewsbury wrote: > A small update: > > Further conversations with NSS

Bob caved with Squire Lewis and was a party to Squire's book. We caved in the Valles area. Hung out at a cantina on the plaza back in the good old days. On Tue, Feb 28, 2017 at 7:35 AM, Geary Schindel < gschin...@edwardsaquifer.org> wrote: > FYI, > > Geary > > > Folks, > > Wm Shrewsbury (the NSS

FYI, Geary Folks, Wm Shrewsbury (the NSS President) told Yvonne Droms that Bob Thrun passed away a couple weeks ago. We don't know the date or the exact details, but I understand Bob had been feeling ill (flu) the day before he passed away, and apparently passed away in his sleep. For
