Thank you, Bill, for your kind words.  It was good to get to see you at the
convention.  We're not as young as you may think and all that caving really
took a toll on our late 40's bodies.  Yet still, we had a blast!  I'm very
disappointed that we didn't choose to spend more time at the high school in
rooms like your AMCS.  I really applaud the work you are doing in and for
Mexico and for the caving community as a whole.  Congratulations on your
sales!  I certainly look forward to getting down to MX and doing some work
with and for you!

Dennis

P.S.  I am so happy for you that you have a big, patient bladder!

Many thanks to Dennis Welch for his report on the NSS Convention. Shows what
young and eager cavers can do when there's a convention in a good caving
area. It's been years since I've even taken caving gear to a convention
(been there, done that). Of course, there's plenty for us old farts to do,
too, especially someone who knows so many people from previous conventions
that it takes an hour to get across the campground to the john, for all the
visiting.
    I spent a lot of time selling AMCS publications. The AMCS sold thousands
$$$ worth of books on Mexican caving. Thanks to Rune Burnett and Susan
Souby for helping me unload and set up, Jerry Fant for minding the store off
and on, and Ernie Garza for helping pack up. -- Bill Mixon
