Killiam opened the spring meeting. Gerald Moni announced 100 new
caves and he is still field checking the data and coordinates and making
any necessary changes to the TCS records. He had CD made for purchase
($10) that has the old TCS information on it including everything to date.

to purchase either. The fall meeting will have updates.
