I've got a friend who was offered an appointment to West Point while he was in the Army in the early 1960s. The catch was that because he had bad acne, he would have to have his face sanded since West Point don't want no ugly graduates. He declined their "generous" offer.
 
I guess caving has become more concerned with outward appearances than with "inner beauty". <snork>

You're showing your age, dude.

In order to explore and survey virgin cave in Texas these days, you have to be well-prepared for long, hard trips, and since everyone has waterproof cameras, it helps to be photogenic, too.

P.S. Last night on Turner Classic Movies I caught a few minutes of a forgettable B&W screwball comedy from 1937. "That actor looks vaguely familiar," I thought. I was surprised to discover that prior to Frederic March's turn in "Inherit the Wind (1960)" and "Death of a Salesman (1951)" he was a romantic lead in the movies of the '30's. I guess it's all relative.
