Re: [SWR] Tom Meador Award

2013-10-25 Thread Jim Evatt
Tom's collection of cave history was offered to CaCa. They were strapped for 
space in their library (read: broom closet) and took only what pertained to 
CCNP and possibly GuMo. I have no idea where the remainder of his collection 
went. Possibly his widow would know.

I can probably inventory the Meador collection sometime this fall. I had a 
good look at the material he left with the NPS at Carlsbad some years ago. 
There really wasn't a lot there in their files.

I just took a look at the site mentioned 
http://www.lib.utexas.edu/taro/utcah/02558/cah-02558.html and there are 
various boxes of unprocessed material. Tom had an really extensive 
collection of Carlsbad Caverns stuff along with many other books and 
whatever memorabilia he could come up with. It would be a great service if 
someone living in the area of the collection could volunteer to inventory 
the stuff and the offer would hopefully be accepted.


Tom was a great friend who , along with Rich Breisch,, first introduced me 
to the area where I now reside, the Copper Canyon of Chihuahua, Mexico. 
I'll never forget the day a group of drunks with logging trucks blocked us 
in on the old, unpaved road to Creel. Tom had a moderate Spanish ability 
which suddenly disappeared leaving me to fend for the group. Meanwhile Tom 
got behind the wheel of his old Scout so we could make a getaway if the 
blockade was lifted. We got out but a logging truck started pushing the 
scout and would not let me catch up to Tom. The rest of the story is best 
told around a campfire but the darn drunks never did give me a beer!

Sheesh, some people.  Simply browsing to http://texascavers.com/ will get
you the instructions on this list.  Also, my mailing list software includes
headers which tells you how to unsubscribe, and it also includes a footer,
with instructions as well.  Problem is, most email clients hide both of
these.

As most people probably know, you can't unsubscribe from a single thread,
the software isn't that complicated, it's an opt-in list, you get all mail.
 Delete what you don't want.

 Just wondering….

 You are obviously an idiot (sic) then since you don’t realize there is no
 way to avoid a thread when you’re on a mailing list :-)

 If you tell the list what sort of tool/filter you use to read email –
 Outlook, Yahoo, Gmail, etc. I’m sure some nice person who’s more
 technically savvy than I am (I just use the delete button in Outlook) will
 tell you how to set up the appropriate filter.

Missy,
I apologize for the idiots who called you by their name. Please forgive them as 
they are in the minority.
