Great photos Frank! Thanks for putting the link on texascavers so the
facelessbookers can see them.

Is it possible to see too many poorly edited photos of exuberant young cavers, vaguely familiar-looking oldsters, scavenging camp dogs,
vintage military vehicles, and raparian Central Texas karst scenery?
I don't think so!
Here's another album from last month's TCR:

Cool photos, I'd be happy to get more photos that will eventually end up on
the TSA website.

Does anyone know how to access the NSS special post honoring caver veterans for
Veterans Day?
I forwarded the Nov 8th request (see message below) to Ronnie Fieseler and he replied "I may not be an "active" member of the NSS, but I am a
Life Member and a Fellow of the NSS. 7669LF
Other Texas caver military veterans that I know of include Keith Heuss, Pete
Strickland, Charley Loving, Bob Lloyd, George Veni, and Tom Brown.
I'm sure there are many more. Thanks to all of you!
Logan
Ronnie submitted a great photo of him in Viet Nam. (Not sure if the photo will
appear, embedded in this email.)
