Well said Bill, I had thought that Rice was a small agricultural community college but was impressed by the campus (other than their mosquitoes were even larger than Louise's).
Nice campus and I hear and know good things about their graduates (Bev Shade). Geary -----Original Message----- From: Mixon Bill [mailto:bmixon...@austin.rr.com] Sent: Monday, October 24, 2011 1:41 PM To: Cavers Texas Subject: [Texascavers] BOG weekend I'd like to agree that the arrangements for the NSS BOG meeting and associated parties were very good. Thanks especially for Louise and Paul for the party site and serving breakfast on Sunday to some of us who crashed at their house. Cavers (and the mosquitoes of the Houstopolis area) were well fed during the party. Rice campus very nice. I'd never been there. They evidently got started with enough land, and didn't get hemmed in like the UT Austin campus. Lots of green lawns, huge parking lots around the stadium, etc. Glad, though, that the Posse doesn't charge as much for beer as the Ginger Man, a similar near-campus pub, does. I've attended very few BOG meetings since I was actually on the board, but I imagine this one was one of the most successful in years in terms of getting to meet local cavers. There were hardly any Texas cavers in the audience at the meeting itself. I don't especially blame them, but they missed Bill Liebman accidentally voting against one of his own motions. And another of his motions going down 1 for and 15 opposed. --Mixon ---------------------------------------- I believe there are 15,747,724,136,275,002,577,605,653,961,181,555, 468,044,717,914,527,116,709,366,231,425,076,185, 631,031,296 protons in the universe and the same number of electrons.- Sir Arthur Eddington ---------------------------------------- You may "reply" to the address this message came from, but for long-term use, save: Personal: bmi...@alumni.uchicago.edu AMCS: edi...@amcs-pubs.org or sa...@amcs-pubs.org --------------------------------------------------------------------- Visit our website: http://texascavers.com To unsubscribe, e-mail: texascavers-unsubscr...@texascavers.com For additional commands, e-mail: texascavers-h...@texascavers.com --------------------------------------------------------------------- Visit our website: http://texascavers.com To unsubscribe, e-mail: texascavers-unsubscr...@texascavers.com For additional commands, e-mail: texascavers-h...@texascavers.com
