best I could not to pester him too much, sending an email only when
necessary and months apart. But yeah, I suppose maybe it’s getting
difficult for him to answer.

By coincidence, I'm thumbing through a copy of "Place: See America
First", Volume 2 No. 1, October 1972,
Random House. It's a collection of essays, poems, drawings, and short
stories contributed by many
recognizable authors (e.g., Scott Turow, Molly Ivins, etc). And there on
pp. 171-177 is an article entitled
"The Hole Catalog: Access To Holes" by Don and Bee Lancaster. it's
essentially a guide to spelunking--
the art and science of cave exploration-- and written in the typical
Lancaster style of informal and
readable explanation of the topic.

P.S. the 1970s featured "The Whole Earth Catalog" which was followed by
slew of "The Whole..."
catalogs of many things. So I guess that it's obvious that someone like
Don Lancaster
would borrow the concept to discuss caves and caving.
