Terry, The NSS web page lists the UT Grotto as the Underground Texas Grotto so I suspect they are chartered with the NSS as such. I think I've even been to some of their meetings which are on 1st, 3rd, and 5th Wednesdays of the month. When I attended, they meet on the University of Texas campus so that may be causing some of the confusion for you. Anyway, good group, you should check them out.
Old age is hell, isn't it. Between the memory loss and your friends being buttholes, it ain't easy.

They have little problem using lawyers to get anything that looks/sounds/smells like UT to get it removed....
