Nevin inspired a bunch of us to explore the Cuetzalan area of northern Puebla 
in Dec. 1973. We found more caves and rich biology. He made many contributions 
to caving.

Well-known Pennsylvania, Virginia and Hawaii caver Nevin Davis passed away last 
week. In the early days he made a couple of very significant trips to Mexico. 
He published the first definitive study of the caves of Cuetzalan in AMCS 
Newsletter Vol. 4, no. 5-6 (1974) (free download at 
<http://www.mexicancaves.org/nl/oldNL.html>). John Wilson recently posted a 
bunch of photos of him, mostly in Hawaii, on Facebook at 
<https://www.facebook.com/groups/348624448643257>. You may recognize some other 
cavers in a few of those, including Bill Liebman. An obituary is being 
compiled, which I can forward for the Hall of Texas and Mexico Cavers when it 
is complete.
