Texas Cavers,
The Texas Cave Management Association has lost contact with a few members, or
possibly a few members have lost contact with the TCMA. In any event we are
looking for them, and maybe YOU can help.
The annual election for TCMA directors is coming up and we want to be sure that
every current member is able to vote for the candidate they feel will be most
able to help TCMA move forward acquiring even more caves for cavers. The
following list of cavers do not have current contact info on file with the
TCMA… if you know where they are hiding can you let us know?
Doug Allen
Jacqueline J. Belwood
Carolyn Biegert
Phil Curtain
John Kebler
Kevin Koch

Please send any helpful responses off-list to the TCMA database manager, Ron
Ralph ronra...@austin.rr.com
An e-mail address would be best, since the ballots for the upcoming election
will be sent via e-mail, and we can use that method to get updates on mailing
addresses, etc.
If any readers of this message are not current members they can go online to
get current at:

Can anybody guess how many gallons of water entered Kiwi Sink and disappeared ?
Where do you suppose most of that water went ? Did it recharge the
aquifer or
did it come out in various springs ?
How many hours was the sump submerged with flowing water ?
Anybody got videos of the waterfall yet ?
I am tempted to drive from Houston tonight if there is still a waterfall.
Is the mining equipment and the ladder ok ?
Did anybody rappel down the 20 foot waterfall ?

Would someone please e-mail me contact information for Terry Sayther? I'd
like to have both his
cell phone and e-mail address.
Thanks,

Just a reminder that the deadline for nominating candidates for NSS
awards to be announced at the banquet at the end of the 2014 NSS
convention in Huntspatch is November 15. See the September NSS News,
page 21, for information about all the awards and to whom nominations
should be sent for each. There is also information about the awards,
including lists of previous recipients, hidden away in the NSS web
site. I don't know what's so secret, but some idiot has put it in the
members-only area. On the home page at caves.org, click on members
page, and sign in with your NSS number and ZIP code, which some idiot
has labeled name and password. Depending on your browser, you may have
to click a box to persuade it to remember you. Way down at the bottom
of the resulting menu is a link to the awards information.
I'm particularly interested in nominations for the NSS's two highest
awards, the William J. Stephenson Outstanding Service Award and the
Honorary Membership. Nominations for those awards are sent to me, and
the NSS Board of Governors selects the recipients at its spring BOG
meeting. The Outstanding Service Award is given to one NSS member per
year in recognition of outstanding service to the Society and its
goals. The Honorary Membership is given to one person per year, not
necessarily an NSS member, for outstanding contributions to the field
of speleology; cave scientists from anywhere in the world are
eligible. Nominating letters for either of those awards should be sent
to me at the e-mail address below (or the one this message came from)
or by mail to 14045 North Green Hills Loop, Austin, Texas 78737, and
should reach me by the deadline of November 15. I will be out of reach
until November 11, but after that will promptly acknowledge any
letters received..--Bill Mixon
Please forward this note to other relevant lists.
