Now that Bill has scratched the surface, propped the door open and given a little history of the TSA from Carl's book, I'll pose a question that has been bouncing around my very small brain for quite a while:
Is the TSA still relevant, needed, or necessary anymore? Having served as Youth Caving Contact (could someone please remove my Contact Info for this from the website?!), Secretary, Texas Caver editor, and Chairperson, it just seems that the TSA was more involved, active, and vibrant in past years than it has been of late. (This is in NO way a request for someone to nominate me for something. Been there, done that, did my turn in the barrel, and have the scars, bruises, and piles of verbal and email abuse to show for it). Just something for y'all to mull over. Maybe consider merging with the TCMA, except they both have different reasons for existing, but, the TCMA seems to be more active lately. Just saying. Anyway, I'll go back to "lurk mode" now. I don't go caving as much as I did in the past and, when I do, it's with my family and a few close caver friends on some special projects and trips. Nota TSA or NSS member currently, just throwing out a bone for you to chew on, so don't flame me!

Now it too is run by elected people, to the extent that it is (anybody seen a Texas Caver this year?). -- Mixon _______________________________________________ Texascavers mailing list | http://texascavers.com Texascavers@texascavers.com | Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/texascavers@texascavers.com/ http://lists.texascavers.com/listinfo/texascavers
