I started out caving as a Met Grotto member and went on many trips with Dave Goldman searching for NY caves (digging a lot) upstate, doing the Gun Barrel, and traveling down to West Virginia for Organ and others. We had first met at grotto meetings, back then they were down in the lower level of the Museum of Natural History up on W 81st. This was in the late 60s and early seventies. If he's the Dave your looking for I couldn't say, but I noticed your former Met Grotto affiliation. This Dave, at the time, lived in Yonkers, NY, nearby the Grand Concourse or such road. We lost track of each other, and haven't seen him in the member list pub. Checking on here doing a Goldman search I found your post, funny.
Anyway, sorry not to be of much help. There was another guy Dave caved with a lot. I forgot his name but he was really fun on trips, etc. since he was just like Tommy Chong (of Chech & Chong), hippie beard, hair, funny, etc. Did you cross paths with him at all?
