Gill, Maybe I can fit in here somewhere. When older cavers get together, myself included, we generally don't have much trouble keeping our clothes on. Fritz

We have for 3 years now at TCR been having a mini-reunion of the cavers from the old Texas A&I (Kingsville) Grotto which was active in the late '60s and pretty much throughout the '70s. It is a great time for those who manage to attend and keep their clothes on. I can say quite factually that one of the founding purposes of TCR was to get old cavers together with other old cavers--from their own clubs and grottos and from the old Texas Region and TSA, and even the Transient Texans who have come and gone over the years. Mini-reunions were part of the mix and are heartily encouraged. I have recently been in contact with Keith Heuss and Logan McNatt about organizing a mini-reunion for the old SWT Grotto from San Marcos. And now the Aggies seem to be getting their ASSes on the caving reunion wagon. It is a good thing. One caveat I would mention is that having a mini-reunion tends to cause one to hang out with that crowd and not have time to circulate amongst the other attendees of the entire reunion. In that regard, I am still proposing that at some time in the future the TCR be made full-blown a 3-day event (or even 4) which will provide the additional time to properly circulate. That may have to wait 'til we have a permanent site, as lack of showers is already having an effect on the tolerance level of many otherwise slime resistant cavers. As a final note, it was mentioned that the Carta Valley S.U.C.K.S. group might ought to have a mini-reunion. Many of them already attend TCR on a regular basis--and seem to spend a good bit of time and effort actively avoiding each other. They already know more about each other than they really want to share. Outsiders with suggestions for C.V. S.U.C.K.S. may best be advised to keep them to themselves lest we have a repeat of the last time the group all got together.
