I was shocked when I read that George Huppert died in a car accident.
George and I worked closely in the UIS Congress in Brasilia, Brazil this past July, in conservation issues within the UIS.
It is a big loss and it is still difficult to believe that such a kind and gentle caver is no longer with us. Please forward my condolences to his wife.
I forwarded your message to Jose A. Labegalini, President and Pavel Bosak, Secretary of the UIS, since George was re-elected in Brasilia, as Adjunct Secretary to the UIS Bureau. Thanks for letting us know.
Yours,
Abel Vale, President
Federacion Espeleologica de America Latina y Caribe - FEALC - and
Adjunct Secretary to the UIS Bureau
