Re: Request brief well-wishes for Rick!
Rick, out of service in South West. Sorry to hear, You are in our prayers. Get well soon! Ken & Sue
That's three responses (--sounding like a Hallmark Card, which is just fine)
anyone else?
Hi Rick! Thinking of you and wishing you a speedy recovery! All?the best, Joy Wilson? Hi Resto Crew,
As you may or may not have heard, our good friend, longtime NPS liaison and now-retired Mammoth Cave Park Ecologist, Rick Olson, underwent surgery last week to remove a polyp on his lung.
Brian and I spoke by phone Thursday evening with Rick, who was recovering at a post-surgery facility.
Rick said his surgery was deemed 'successful,' however the pathology report (up to 2 weeks from now) would tell more. He was jovial, as always, and was looking forward to being released and back at his home this weekend.
In the meantime, to cheer Rick's spirits and aid his recovery, I'd urge everyone reading this to reply with a one- or two-sentence sentiment, which I will condense into one email message and send to him.
Here's mine:
Rick, here's wishing you a speedy recovery. We're all pulling for you! -GaryG

For May camp we should be at the Maple Springs facility. ?

Thanks Gary!
Please let everyone know that I am gimping around pretty good at on week post surgery. I can't really recommend this unless it is the least bad option!

Hey Rick!
I hear you're on the mend, hope everything goes well and getting back to doing the things you love soon!

Re: Old Resto Crew video from the 1990s!
Wowie Kazowie! These are great. Doesn't hurt to have the finest actors in the guild. Better give our agents a heads up for the onslaught of offers sure to come...
Best, Rick?
Before Brian, the previous Resto Crew Director was Bill Copeland, who was preceded by Roy VanHooser.
The Resto effort began as a pre-Convention activity in 1989. Beginning the following year, it was Norm Rogers (preceding Roy) who organized and supervised Resto efforts, including the dismantling of the Echo River wooden pier.
We're pleased to announce that Norm has found and subscribed to our current chat group (on the Groups.io platform), which succeeds the former YahooGroup, which Yahoo dissolved a few years ago.
Many current Resto cavers like Pam, Linda/Larry, Roy and Rick Olson of course remember Norm --who today emailed me a link to a NBC news interview and report on the Echo River project:
As I mentioned, Norm is currently signed-on to the Resto Group, so feel free to reply with a message to our de-facto founder... just to say 'hi', thank you and/or maybe invite him to come join us again. We'd love to all meet you, Norm!
On behalf of all of us, thank you Norm!
-GG
PS - Compare that historic video with the one created by Brian and yours truly a couple years ago:

Re: Old Resto Crew video from the 1990s!
Hi Linda. Nice to hear from you. Just today, I saw Gary's video on the resto camp, and you had a spot on there. It's good to see you're still at it. You and Larry were essential to the early years of the camp! It was great working with you. Do the Indiana cavers still have the Luuuuuuuuve room at Maple Springs??

Re: Old Resto Crew video from the 1990s!
Hey Norm, glad to hear that you & Chris are well. We would all love to see you surprise us with a visit at camp.??
|
Re: Old Resto Crew video from the 1990s!
Hi Pam and everybody else on the group. You're probably wondering where Norm's been all these years. The truth is,? I been living in a small room in Gary's basement where, once a day, he slides a couple of dried biscuits and a dish of water under the door.? He finally let me out, and I decided to re-connect with the caving community.
Thank you all for keeping this camp alive. I'm sure it's project without peers!
For those who know me, Chris and I are doing well up here in Minnesota.

Re: Photos from March Resto weekend
Hi All,
Catching up on emails after being off with my kiddo's ankle surgery. I cannot access the dropbox. Are these photos on FB? I'd like to get some to the social media team to create a post.
If I could access them with my personal email, it is aethomas76@....
Thanks for everything you are doing!!!!
Thanks,
Liz

Here's a link to 20 photos from some of the Resto Crew activities last weekend, including movement of transformers in the El Ghor passage (supervised by Richard Zoph, who was a member of the team that make the historic connection between the Flint Ridge and
Mammoth Cave systems in 1972), and spraying algae with bleach solution along the Domes & Dripstones route and at Crystal Lake.
