He was a graduate from UT and a very active caver in the 70-80’s. He spent a few years caving in the Austin area, made numerous trips to Mexico, then moved back to San Antonio, and was actively caving there for many years. He spent many years caring for his ailing parent in the 90’s and up until his mom died in 2011. His health had been declining over the past few years. He constantly emailed his friends with humorous, goofy, and insulting emails numerous times each day, and when those emails stopped, and he wouldn’t answer his phone several of us were concerned. One of his friends went to his house, and after he didn’t get a response, he called the police who eventually discovered Scott dead inside. I am planning to host a memorial / celebration of his life at my house Saturday April 18th starting at 6:30pm. Anyone interested please RSVP so we’ll know how to contact you with more details as we get closer. Kurt 3/19/2015 See attached photo . Jerry Atkinson. -----Original Message----- From: William R.

I really can't do much with that unless you can send me a write-up, document, link, or image. I spend a lot of time researching dead cavers as it is, and some day I will give it up and pass it on to someone. So I need help. Does anyone know when Scott Harden died? I searched many years of AMCS, Texas Caver, NSS News, and found nothing about his death. I probably received an email a few years back when it happened, but my email address changed three times since then, so... But I know these people mean something to many of us who were born in the last millenium... Thank you, William R.
