Bexar Grotto has always been generous, which makes me proud to be a member. Expanding that generosity to Texas cavers in general and some friends close to San Antonio:
John Moses in El Paso is the NSS International Secretary Patty Perlaky at Cave Without A Name is President of the National Caves Association (US association of show caves) Brad Wuest at Natural Bridge Caverns is President of the International Show Caves Association. I look forward to seeing many of you in a couple of weeks.
