Perhaps that section of cave should be renamed the “Russell Borehole”.

The Little Man made the cover of the July-August 1979 Texas Caver. "The 
Monster Borehole section of the Master Main Drain, Airman's Cave, Travis 
County, Texas.  Photo by Bill Russell."  Bill explained on page 63 of 
that issue "It is not that Travis County caves are too small, it is that 
Travis County cavers are too big."

By the way changing the subject-if you were up one hour ago, before

slide presentation he had several photos of the “new” borehole in Airman’s 
Cave. It appeared to be 20’ tall passages.until we finally realized that

Re: [Texascavers] Bill Russell, newspaper articles and magazine covers

[PRESTON FORSYTHE]

 The cave trip I made with Bill Russell I will always remember was to the very 
back, read end, of Airman's. What I do not remember is any walking passage in 
the cave. Zero, i.e., none. No walking passage. maybe a little stoop passage, 
not much.  And, the very worthwhile formation area, Selentites, (sp), long 
crystal needles, the goal of the trip, was at the very end. Unfortunately, the 
end was on the other side of the infamousdrum rollWIRE WIGGLE.
The tightest cave passage I have ever been thru. 
Bill led the way throught that like a cave salamander. Not only was the long 
crawl a Wire Wiggle in the truest sense of the word, but on the far side it had 
a 120 degree bend. On the way out I learned one had to totally relax and flow 
like a worm, as thoughts of being Trapped entered my headThe knees would 
not bend around that sharp turnI would not recommend that stunt again 
unless one weighted 165 pounds or less, and shorter than 5 ft. 11 inches 
tall.The Wire Wiggle, which I bet Bill named, was even tighter than Dead 
Dog Cave also in Austin, another "test piece," of limited space caving. 
As for Dead Dog Cave, I think the Bittinger Brothers pioneered that one, but I 
would not be surprised if Bill Russell did not have a hand in it, too. I did
