Fritz, et al:
You can read about Bob Hudson in 50 YEARS of TEXAS CAVING. He is quite an
important person in the history of Texas caving. I was in touch with Bob in
the mid-1960s and much of the very early history of Texas caving comes from the
information he shared with me in several lengthy letters.
Time passed and eventually, the link was lost.
While researching for the 50 YEARS book, the search for Bob was renewed. Over
several years time, all avenues were explored without success. He is thought
to be deceased but that is not an absolute certainty.
Anything can happen and the Internet is a far more powerful tool these days.
If anyone has information, please pass it along.

Subject: old member trying to find another old member
Does anyone know the whereabouts or status of Bob Hudson? He was a well known
caver in the 50's and 60's. I accompanied Jimmy Walker and Bob on one of the
earliest trips into The Caverns of Sonora (then Mayfield Cave) in about
December, 1955. Jimmy lost track of Bob in the 60's and assumes he is dead.
Does anyone have a suggestion on learning his status? Thanks, Fritz Holt

"Update on Mallory Mayeux: They have warmed her back to 97 degrees over the
last few days. Had to go slowly, because her ICP pressure would spike and then
they would have to drain off fluid from her brain. She has an infection and
they are seeing stuff in her lungs (side-affect from being cooled so long), so
she is on an antibiotic that should help with both issues. Since she shouldn't
be shivering, they will try to take her off the paralytic tomorrow. One of the
research doctors came in last tonight and said she was going a little slower
than they thought she would, but it is going in the right direction. Thank you
for your continued prayers."

Reading an adventure magazine at the library last week I spotted an ad for his
cave in Chiapas on the road between San Cristobal and Ocosingo and on to
Palenque. We have driven that road a couple of times, but not recently.
"Mammoth Cave," anyone been to this cave in Chiapas?

I am still sort-of optimistic that cavers will someday find a use for
Google+, as either a supplement to Facebook, or a replacement.
There are 2 NSS sites on Google+. One is the official page of the NSS
that only sends out official news announcements, and the
other is sort of a chat-page where cavers can post whatever they want.
The chat-page now has 99 members, but I have no idea how many of those
actually
view it.
https://plus.google.com/communities/100328245514364040731
I did not create the chat-page, but I had been following it because I
thought it was a great idea.
The official page now has 626 likes, and over 300 people have it in their
Google circles. I bet almost all of those are cavers, but many are
overseas. I haven't been following the page for a few months, but that
is only because I have not been on-line much lately.
https://plus.google.com/111610247864593899054/about
Both of these pages link to one another. There have been some good
photos posted of the remodeling of the NSS Headquarters. What is
really great about these 2 pages is the regional caving announcements that
are posted. This helps organizers of these events, and helps cavers
learn about events they were un-aware of. For example, I have never
heard of the YTR.
