I remember Barry but don't think we ever went caving together. A quick glance at the book 50 Years of Texas Caving details some of Barry's
accomplishments in Texas and beyond:
1969 one of the founding members and first Chairman of the Rice
Speleological Society (Houston)
1970 joined the Carta Valley Society of Underground Cavers, Karstologists,
and Speleologists (photo page 201)
1971 TSA Chairman
1971 TSA caver of the month
1977 NSS Fellow
2004 NSS Honorary Membership Award (lifetime membership "for outstanding service
to speleology and the NSS")
Barry was also known as the "Rain God" because of numerous misadventures involving large quantities of water, from the Colorado River near
Gorman Cave, Texas (photo, page 98) to a cave near Pigeon Mountain, Georgia
Wished I had known him better, sorry to hear of his passing.
