Re: [Texascavers] Article on Blowing Sink in Today's Austin American Statesman

[Logan]

Everyone please look at the link below to give you another, more favorable perspective of Ken Herman. He had previously written another story about a mysterious stone sculpture on Whirlpool Cave Preserve. He contacted TCMA President John Brooks, and I called Don Broussard to let him know about it. I met Don and Ken at the Preserve. I don't remember seeing the video before tonight--it's a good one of Don. And Ken certainly did his homework on this story.   https://www.statesman.com/news/20160903/herman-the-mystery-of-wodins-throne Logan On 10/21/2019 11:11  PM, Katherine Arens wrote Lighten up, people.  Inform the public info person for the preserve — SHE got it wrong.  And i have no idea where the picture came  (jules, have you donated your pix to TSS with documentation?) k On Oct 21, 2019, at 8:22 PM, mmin...@caver.net wrote: You need to know that the people you contact actually have the proper information. That's no doubt not always obvious, but in this case, the UT Grotto has been around for decades, and William Russell was a long-term member, so it seems like a no-brainer to contact someone there.

He seems to be confused about the name of the cave versus the name of the preserve. The article twice stated that the original name of the cave system was the Blowing Sink Research Management Area. He meant, of course, that that was the original name of the preserve.
