>From David Locklear, I do not have any way to share this private story with all my caving friends, so please bare with me. ( Charlie & Company, please hit the delete button )
In October of 2004, I announced on CaveTex that I had pro-created ( alarming dozens of people ), and I nicknamed my kid "CavePearl." I had grand ambitions of teaching her all the incredible things I know about caves and caving and speleology ( LOL ! ). But that failed. She still does go by CavePearl, and she has attended very briefly NSS Conventions in 2005 in Huntsville and 2006 in Bellingham, but to this date, the only cave related experience she has had was a tour trip of Rickwood Caverns near Birmingham at 10 months old and slept the whole way. Anyways, fast forward to this week, and here she is doing one the many things she enjoys, which is performing folkloric dances. https://drive.google.com/file/d/0BwRwaM7IeSI5YVFpaDhONlpySHc/view?usp=sharing She is performing to the viewer's right. I still hope to at least take her on some tours of commercial caves, but taking her on a real caving trip with me caving with her seems quite unrealistic at this point. One of the caves I hope to take her to, is Alabaster Caverns in Oklahoma. She has a unique Spanish accent when she speaks Spanish, and has a natural born translation skill that you just can't learn in school. Her favorite music is by Parry Gripp, and I would be surprised if any of you have heard of that. She will be finishing the first half of the 6th grade in the next week or so. We will most likely be in Reynosa, Tamaulipas, Mexico on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day. There is a 10% chance I will show my face in San Antonio this coming Saturday. David Locklear
