I found this University archive of his documents when I searched for Tom Meadors name http://www.lib.utexas.edu/taro/utcah/02558/cah-02558.html.
The SWR 50th book http://www.caves.org/region/swr/50th/50th%20Anniv.%20SWR%20book.pdf had a nice section on caver memoriams for those of us who didn't get a chance to meet all the past SWR members.

Tom collected NM cave history as well as TX caves. Carl Kunath is probably a better representative of Texas Cave History, but perhaps Tom was the better known NM cave historian. - Pete On Oct 23, 2013, at 11:49 AM, James Jasek wrote:Tom was pretty much the Historian for the TSA, and he had a massive collection of memorabilia of caving, photography, postcards, literature of Texas and New Mexico in his collection. Collecting cave history was a passion for Tom. Since collecting an maintaing caving history is our window to the past, I feel the Tom Meador Award should be designed to encourage the collection of Texas caving history. Tom was a personal friend and a really good fellow.

One thing I haven't heard is about him focusing on mentoring new cavers. If SWR will be developing an award for new cavers, then it should be named for someone whose focus was new cavers, as in the case of Chuck Stuehm in Texas. Maybe Tom fits that perfectly. I don't know one way or the other. If not, I suggest naming the award for someone who better fits the award and creating another award named for Tom that would honor him more by being more appropriate to his strengths, interests, and accomplishments.
