Thanks for taking the initiative, Linda.
Looking forward to your "Up Close and Personal" interviews and ones from anyone else that would like to conduct some. To expand on your quote, "Taking the initiative to take on one of these tasks is pretty simple once you get past the idea that nobody wants to read that." Trust me when I tell you, "If you send it, I will print it". In over 5 years of doing this, there's only ever been a couple of items that I have decided not to print. Explanations to the authors was provided.

Probably the hardest part of being Caver editor is getting articles, or maybe it is that sneaking feeling that comes with most volunteer positions that "nobody understands or appreciates.". I will do an occasional series of interviews, both of newer and "seasoned" cavers. I will have the first one to Mark by the end of the month. I would also welcome suggestions of newer cavers to interview from grottos not near SA. Perhaps somebody could do some compilation from grotto newsletters (don't read it if you think it is a bad idea)', somebody might do a gear review or safety/techniques review occasionally, a review of events, and some of the other ideas I read. Taking the initiative to take on one od these tasks is pretty simple once you get past the idea that nobody wants to read that. A few picture essays in the online part of the TC might be nice too.. It is always busy, but I do like the Caver.
