My name is Shirley Kasser Creech and I approve this message. Well, at least one of me does, anyway. Maybe. Fire. Sharp things. Squirrel!
Shirley you're not serious? No, I'm not, but do stop calling me Shirley.
Bob Friedman, cave diver from the late 60's thru the 80's. I've got a photo of him and Sheck at a workshop in the late 70's. Good guy, I believe he was from the Tallahasee area.
Sue's Sink (between Catfish and Friedman) is named for his wife, I believe.
I was told a long time ago Sheck altered the entrance of the sink to be able to get in. This was done at the time of original exploration. Mr.Friedman was one of the team members. They had to identify the sink that leads into the cave and then break the limestone (talk about a conservation bla-bla). Could anyone confirm this?
It is not the only sink there nearby. If you walk thru the forest following the mapped cave there will be a dozen of sinks. They always feed my fantasy that there is a more side passage. The forest is infested with deer tick. There is no restrooms nearby, and parking can take up to 3 cars. When the water level is low the diver in a hole makes a nice picture - it looks like it sticks half way up right out of the ground.
in caverns measureless it says they had to dig it out
No Shirley it was cuz Bob and I was wondering what happened to him. I know he was writing articles up until the late 90's
I believe Bob passed away some time (7-8 years?) ago.
My apologies if this is incorrect.
