Re: [Texascavers] Jack Burch honored

[Mark Minton]

That article says, "Burch went on to develop Natural Bridge Caverns near Georgetown, opened in 1963." Something's not right. Inner Space is near Georgetown; Natural Bridge is near New Braunfels and San Antonio. The date is correct for Natural Bridge. You might want to let them know to fix the location.

Jack Burch was the primary developer of Caverns of Sonora. He brought a caver’s ethic and sense of a cave to the cave’s development and revolutionized show cave development into a more natural and realistic state of what caves are. Following Sonora, he was integral to the development of other show caves in Texas, the US, and internationally. He has now been honored by the Texas Markers Project: https://texasmarkers.org/markers/jack-charles-burch/

I'm just passing along the link and have no special connection with the organization. I also will lose my internet connection in a few minutes for a couple of days. If anyone has comments or edits, send them to the organization directly.

Thanks, George. I sent my comment to Texas Markers.

I've already heard back form David Todd of Texas Markers. Turns out I had conversations with David earlier this year about another famous Texas caver, William Russell. His Marker page is <https://texasmarkers.org/markers/william-hart-russell/>.
