NSS 75th Anniversary

[Mattboy]

Happy anniversary, NSS!

75 years ago today, the National Speleological Society was incorporated in Washington D.C.

This image is generally considered to be the first board meeting of the society. William J Stephenson, at the center of the photo, was the society's founder and first president.



The 2016 convention team looks forward to welcoming you to Nevada to celebrate 75 years of caving!

Any updates on the convention? I went to sign up......but the website says registration isn't open yet.

I'm looking forward to attending.

Shouldn't be much longer, Dan. The team is in Ely this week wrapping up some details. Thanks!

Thanks Matt for the update. Just got done booking rooms for the week along with a tour of Lehman cave on Sunday.

Should be a great convention. See ya'll there.

Anyone else on the discussion board going to convention?

I'm going. Looking forward to winning "most improved" in the 30 meter climb!

See you there!

It was great having dinner with you, Scott, at that infamous "The Rack," there in Ely, NV. What a coincidence with your geocaching with Eileen and meeting up with you that Thursday evening, after the AV showing. Hope Julie has overcome her health issue by now. Not fun to be down like that.

Ernie - It was my pleasure to have your company! I loved "the rack" three times last week. Yumm! Julie is getting better now that we are in the "flatlands." Thanks again!

Looks like you had a great time, John. Thanks for sharing all of your photos. Wish you would have labeled more of them, as to where they were shot. See 'ya in New Mexico maybe.
