All,
I'm pleased to announce that Carl Kunath has been gracious enough to submit
three back issues of the TEXAS CAVER from 2001, 2002, and 2004 and Butch Fralia
has dutifully posted them to the Members Area of the TSA Website for your
reading pleasure.
There's some great reading from the past in these issues. Stories such as the
purchase of the Deep and Punkin Cave property, a daring rescue of an injured
caver in Mexico, CARTOONS!, and a lot of past history and articles from present
day cavers and from some who, unfortunately, aren't with us any longer.
Hours of great reading have been added and I would like to thank Carl for
submitting them and Butch for posting them for posterity.
Not to mention, the 2nd quarter 2009 issue of the TEXAS CAVER will be posted
very soon, maybe, by this weekend!
This is looking to be a huge issue (36 pages), chock full of LOTS of photos and
just in time for ICS!
If you're a TSA member, but haven't yet joined the Digital Revolution, it is
extremely painless to do so. Go to http://www.cavetexas.org/members/ and sign
up and enjoy the back issues!
Please remember to select how you want your TC: mail or digital.
You can still opt to receive the TC in the mail, or you can do your part to be
environmentally and fiscally responsible, while sticking it to the USPS and
their recently adopted rate increase by opting to go digital!
The Members Area continues to expand very well and we currently have grown to
well over 80 members. This is over 40% of the total membership.
Not a TSA member? No problem! We still would like for you to contemplate
becoming a TSA member. Send me an email for your complimentary TEXAS CAVER and
see what you've been missing.
Or, you can visit the TSA website at www.cavetexas.org and become a paid member
and/or become an online member of the TSA.
There now are a total of 14 back issues available for your reading pleasure!
Enjoy!
Mark Alman - TSA Chairman and TEXAS CAVER Editor
