Andy was the first caver I met here in the Guadalupes - the NSS member with the lowest number. Meeting him changed the course of my life in ways large and small. In a great many ways I trace much of the science, upon which my life has centered, and many of my friends, who have made my life enjoyable, to the afternoon I first met Andy here in Carlsbad. Heartfelt condolences for Maureen's loss, and profound thanks to her for having kept Andy healthier and happier than he would have been without her: we all were the richer because of it. I shall indeed treasure my original Komenskys and the memories they invoke. Indeed, Sir, Cave ho!
