Webmeister's Report: Mike O'Laughlin has volunteered to take over from Nathan, but first needs to check up with Nathan about what is involved.
MSS Representative's Report: Rita Wordin, now our official delegate,
attended the meeting in Rolla on January 20. She passed on the good news that Rob Taylor, editor of Missouri Speleology, will publish the papers written by students of the Seminar in the Geography of Caves at MU in 1999. The MSS (and Carroll Cave Conservancy) is looking for survey teams for a 20-plus mile-long cave. Contact Tom Lounsbury, caveman@grapevine.net....Rita heard a presentation on excavation on palaeontological remains from Missouri caves. Due to regional arrangements, these are being deposited at the University of Illinois. The next MSS meeting is on May 19.
Foresight Editor's Report: Patti Williamson is almost ready to print the 2000 (1) edition; Jessie Bebb has kindly volunteered to assist her. For dues-paying members who were not present at this or the last meeting, Patti will mail the two issues out to you at the same time. Daryl Greaser is working on the 1999 (2) edition.
Position Available: Fine Opportunity. Patti is looking for one of us to go to merchants of mid-Missouri and ask them to sign on as advertisers in the Newsletter. Is any one of you willing to do this? Please contact Patti.
Some old business....
