Once all existing members die, the Texas Caver will become all electronic.
Great plan Ellie, you're a genius!

Here is another adaptation of an old KY-Illinois coal miner poem put to
caving. With apologies to Vachel who wrote, "Miner Jim," and Bobby who
published the poem.
Caver Jim
1970:
Caver Jim, you know him,
Tall and straight, body strong;
Before the dawn, he'll be gone,
To walk four miles, cave all day long.
1980:
Caver Jim, you know him,
Day's caving now takes its toll;
Step much slower, head hangs lower,
After a day of caving.
1990:
Caver Jim, you know him,
It's time he faced the truth:
What he can't do, a young man can;
Those days have claimed his youth.
2000:
Caver Jim, you know him,
'Fore they took him away;
Caver Jim, you knew him;
They buried him today.
