Of interest is the "font" on that survey book cover. Carl, that was my old 
electric typewriter "font", the one we used when publishing two years of the 
Texas Caver in Dallas in the 60's. Katherine Goodbar and Jacquelyn Robinson 
alternated every other month in typing up each issue "full justified" on offset 
paper masters. As editor I typed up each month's issue first, putting in "xxxx" 
to the end of each line. Then on the 2nd typing, Katherine (or Jackie) would 
randomly put in extra spaces to full justify each line. I sure was glad to buy 
a "home computer" in 1979 with a word processor. And in 1986, Karen and I 
bought a Mac with Microsoft Word that wasn't limited to monospaced fonts. A 
long ways from typesetting in the mid 60's!

Oh yes, we still are working on improving our cave survey technology. It helps 
to have a dust proof Disto that shoots 280 feet when doing long survey shots 
with precision sketching.

That appears to be a good example of the survey book that was widely in use in 
Texas in the 1960s.  I think it was a Pete Lindsley design.  It became the 
official TSA survey book in hopes of promoting better uniformity in our survey 
techniques which were not all that good at the time.  Getting all that 
information on the front cover was a huge step forward!

Thanks Andy,
 
I remember that you were on the very first survey team for FSCSP when we 
started at the entrance and began the Main Corridor survey (see attached survey 
book cover)!  So you helped start things some 46 years ago…
 
Regards,
 
John

Congrats to all of you who received the award.
Proud to say that at one time or another I had the opportunity to cave with 
some of you and sorry that I never had the chance to meet the rest of you.,
Cave hoooooooooooooooo,
Andy
