*Bill Mixon* Bill Mixon worked tirelessly over many years on AMCS publications and the website. He maintained the AMCS files at his house, which today is the Texas Speleology Center. Mixon was editor of the AMCS Activities Newsletter for 21 issues from 1992 to 2018, a total of 2952 pages, or 56% of the 5272 newsletter pages published since 1965. He served as layout editor and production manager for many issues of the AMCS Bulletin with little or no credit. He also placed images of 4065 cave maps on the AMCS website. We now have a project to carry on his tradition and index all the cave maps that Mixon put online for us.
Mixon was a very patient and resourceful layout editor for my AMCS Bulletin 26 on cavefishes last year. I deeply appreciate his work. Many cavers contributed to these newsletters and bulletins, and all deserve our thanks and respect, but none did more than Bill Mixon. Thank you Bill, we will miss you. I have a 13 March 2013 photo of Mixon at his Macintosh computer in his library, which I will try and post here and on Dropbox at https://www.dropbox.com/sh/qrtqdtlm4uuy1wb/AAAXKI7lOuobu7DjG8tbQHrka?dl=0 Thanks, *William R.
