That is probably correct. Alicia Wisener Gale was a Temple Caver, as was I and my younger sister Jane, and one of my younger sister's best friends. If memory serves, most of the Temple Cavers headed to college in the fall of 1973, the majority going to UT in Austin. No way was Alicia going to be left out going to A&M, so as far as I remember, she found an advisor and instigated the A.S.S. grotto that fall. She and her husband John Gale are, I believe, still listed in last year's NSS member list, although I do not know if they still cave. James Jasek and Chuck Stuehm were the major mentors for the Temple Cavers before they split to go their separate academic ways. As far as I know, I am the only member still actively caving, although Tommy Joe may still go sometimes when not being one of our fantastic TCR cooks:)
