His article about a one way trip to Mars was published all over the place and 
much discussed. 

Jim was an incredibly interesting person. He was the first Houston caver I met. 
He rode with me to my first TCR and it was the greatest road trip as Jim 
regaled me with tales of his adventures caving. I'm going to miss him a lot.

I share everyone's shock & sadness of Jim's passing. I didn't know him as well 
as most of you. I met him & his girlfriend at the time Donna Mosesman (sp?)at 
my very first TCR in 2006 at Paradise Canyon. I like to think they are now 
together again. He was a great conversationalist & I will miss him.

 Here's another photo of Jim in more recent years. I believe it was taken in 
2006. Not sure by whom.

Like all of you, I was shocked to receive the news of Jim’s passing.   

He was an irrepressible adventurer with a extraordinary intellect.   

We will certainly miss his presence in the caving community.   



I don’t have too many photos of Jim but I especially like this one 
(photographer unknown) taken

in his younger days on a visit to Gruta de Carrizal in November 1964.

Re: [Texascavers] Fwd: Jim McLane photo

2015-09-23 Thread Roger Moore (cavera...@aol.com) via Texascavers 
I first met Jim about four years before I made the move from Florida to Texas 
in 1974. I attended a couple of the old Rice Grotto meetings while visiting my 
paternal uncle in Houston and met him then. I went on one Hill Country caving 
trip with the Houston folks that he may have been on, as well.


But I got to know this fascinating man much better after moving to Houston in 
1976 and joining the Greater Houston Grotto. I was intrigued by his tales of 
dirt bike-enabled pioneering caving trips in Mexico in the Sixties. And being a 
space geek, I pumped him for stories about NASA's Huntsville rocket design 
facility in the days of the Werner von Braun team. He remained my occasional 
source of insider space news until his much lamented death, and his proposal 
for a one-way Mars mission still has traction.


He will be missed by many people on many levels.
