Thanks Logan. I’ve forwarded your message to the owners of Caverns of Sonora just in case they didn’t know. I met Jack once there during the 50th anniversary of the ledge crossing. He told me that he and his team didn’t really think of the crossing as a big deal and didn’t rig a safety line

Jack Prince passed away on November 19, 2018, one month shy of his 90th birthday. Most of you do not know who he was, or that he made one of the most memorable discoveries in a cave in Texas. Bill Stephenson, founder of the National Speleological Society,
