Because the body temperature of Mexican freetail bats doesn't drop low
enough for the fungus to thrive, experts suspect freetails may instead
become carriers that infect other bats.

I hadn't heard that before...

[Texascavers] NSS election results

1) NSS election results
By: Cheryl Jones (Mclean,  Virginia)
cheryl.ca...@verizon.net

[Re-posted from CaveChat. Maybe I  missed it, but I haven't seen that the
info has been circulated. BTW, I heard  from Allan that about 2090
ballots were cast, which is just a bit shy of last  year's 2139. ]

All,

Here are the results of the 2012 NSS Director  Election. Many thanks to
all candidates who ran in the election. I have  received many complements
on the quality of the slate of candidates and their  platforms.
Congratulations to the five winners who will take a seat on the  BOG on
Monday, June 25, 2012 at our summer NSS Convention.

It is my  understanding that there is a sixth Director vacancy which
occurred during  the course of the election. According to the NSS By-laws
this vacancy will be  filled at the next meeting of the BOG which will
occur on the Monday of our  summer convention in Lewisburg, WV.

The numbers given below may change  very slightly over the next few weeks
as some paper ballots postmarked by the  May 1st deadline arrive.
However, there are not enough paper ballots out  there to make a
difference in the final outcome of the election.

Votes  Received 
1189 Carol Tiderman (2012-2015 Term) 
977 Margot Geisler  (2012-2015 Term) 
971 Dick Mitchell (2012-2015 Term) 
939 Mike Crockett  (2012-2015 Term) 
843 Peri Frantz (filling vacancy in 2011-2014  Term)

692 Jay Balakirsky 
671 Walter Pickel 
667 Gary Gibula  
657 Robert David 'RD' Milhollin 
614 Herman Miller 
534 Buford Pruitt
