Since I wasn't at TCR (although I wish I
could have been), I didn't see the big
feed. What are Escoveech Fish (Shore Leave) and
Spinners (Rotten Doubloons)? Sounds like a great feast - sorry I missed it.

I want to thank all the Chief Cookies for making it all go so smoothly,
especially,Mr. Holsinger for the super squash recipe. Yum!
It was a great feed. The menu is a very nice addition. ASS did a good job
helping.
One suggestion for next year: get someone parked in the front of the line to
sit and watch to make sure everyone has their bracelets on. There were a few
(eating with the cooks no less) that had not paid.
Anyway, there will always be those that feel entitled I guess. Or, maybe, just
maybe they really wanted to pay but the registration gurus had stepped away.

On a related subject, I think we could use a "big" clock so those in the
"kitchen" have some idea as to what time it is. ;)

miss it (which we only did significantly the first year I was in charge).

Can anyone tell me how the veggie recipe was, by the time I ate it was long
gone?! I hear the fish was excellent too, but that's not my bag.
I was at the front of the line for a bit until Don Arburn took over, after that
I went down the line a few times and everyone had a band.
I did see the couple of people you saw Aimee (but I was too busy to do anything
about it), I know who they are and hopefully they'll be making a suitable
donation to a caving charity in the very near future (copy of the receipts
would be appreciated ;-). Overall i'm glad the majority of people know what it
takes to make sure everyone has a good time!
Even thou I arrived later than I wanted, and worked more that planned, I still
had a great time (perhaps more than the other years i've been involved -
probably due to TerryH). Thanks to those who pull TCR together, and to Dave
'Cave' McClung for manning the bar (those who missed out on that missed out on
some great drinks! - next year y'all).
I have a theme in mind for next year already, planning begins!

Speaking of Food,
You know we've been teasing those Aggies for years, but I think this
breaking news is complete vindication and justification for their
activity.
Making Me Hungry, Terry
PS.... any ideas Vico??
Rats, mice, foxes, owls, pigeons, moles, snakes and pheasants: the
makings of a pleasant episode of Winnie the Pooh, an autumnal diorama
of woodland life at the Academy of Natural Sciences in Philadelphia --
or, for one 44-year-old UK man, 30 years worth of dinner.
Jonathan McGowan, a professional taxidermist, started eating roadkill
at age 14, when he found a dead adder on the side of the road and
decided to cook it, reports the Daily Mail. That first snake wasn't
very tasty, but he was intrigued. Over time, McGowan came to see the
ecological and culinary benefits of eating only meat he found dead on
the side of the road. (It seems his forager-instincts were limited to
the flesh: he would buy fruits, vegetables, grains, spice and so forth
like any other person.)
McGowan detailed the logistics of his diet in a rollicking essay in
The Guardian last spring.

Someone actually suggested, over dinner, roadkill as a theme one year. It's
certainly possible. Vico reminded me that I wouldn't stop for the armadillo
crossing the road on the way back from butchering the beef. I maintain he
looked too cute and was out for a stroll in the cool air after the rain, it
would have been harsh. And that the back of the car was *entirely* full of
coolers full of beef...

and decided to cook it, reports the Daily Mail. That first snake wasn't very
tasty, but he was intrigued. Over time, McGowan came to see the ecological and
culinary
benefits<http://www.whatsontianjin.com/news-1629-uk-man-jonathan-mcgowan-lives-on-roadkill-for-30-years-never-buy-meat.html>
of eating only meat he found dead on the side of the road. (It seems his
forager-instincts were limited to the flesh: he would buy fruits, vegetables,
grains, spice and so forth like any other person.)
McGowan detailed the logistics of his
diet<http://www.guardian.co.uk/lifeandstyle/2011/mar/26/i-eat-roadkill> in a
rollicking essay in The Guardian last spring.

Hi all,
I would like to share will all of you the Texas Cave Management Association
award recipients. At the Texas Cavers Reunion this year, Heather Tucek won an
Outstanding Volunteer Award for her work with Whirlpool Cave Preserve.
Mike Harris won an Outstanding Volunteer Award for his work at Robber Baron
Cave.
TCMA also presented a Lifetime Achievement Award to William Russell.
William has been an active caver for more years than most of us remember.
William has dug open and explored more caves than many of us have seen.
William has worked hard in the area of cave conservation for many, many
years. Williams contribution to caving in Texas has been immense.
TCMA gave William this award as a thanks for all his contributions.
Allan Cobb
President, TCMA

Ted Lee, Some one told me that you might have picked up a extra chair at Bills
Steele's camp. Its dark blue and it has a foot rest that pops up when you lean
back. If anyone knows about this , please let me know something.
Happy Caving!!!\Mark Gee
