Thanks Galen for helping with the project and it was nice to see you out. Sorry I left your name off the list and thanks to Ellie for letting me know.
As we've seen the NSS aging, it is nice to see young folks like Galen and Ellie making great contributions to the caving community. An thanks to the Texas caving community for working with youth through the BSA Venture program helps create new cavers and help keeping us old farts young. Something I'm very proud of is the number of young folks that really started their caving careers with Venture Scouts that have joined the NSS and really stuck with it. Steve Bryant, Paul Bryant, Graham Schindel, Aspen Schindel, and David Daniel all got involved in caving through the Venture Scout program. I'm sure there are many more. Also Congratulations to Steve Bryant who just graduated from UT on Saturday and is the recently retired UT Grotto chair.
