The Carcass Crypt Pit cleanup was a large project requiring the involvement of many individuals dedicated to a common goal. Through their endeavors over two ton of trash has been removed from the pit and a new fence installed surrounding the entrance sink. The approximately $500.00 cost of the project was entirely covered by the generous donations of many conservation minded individuals and groups. 

   On behalf of the Ohio Valley Region and the Eastern Indiana Grotto I extend a huge debt of gratitude to all who volunteered they’re time and effort: Tom Reynolds, Jim Lewis, Jerry Lewis, David Short, Brian Leavell, Bill Cathy, Joe Carter, Guy Wolf, Robert Jarboe, David Randall, Anmar Mirza, Adam Manship, Keith & Bambi Dunlap, John LaMar Cole, Mark Sparks, Bill Baus, Eric Schneider, Kriste Lindberg, Jamie Fee, John Kerr, Donald Engle, Craig Deiner, Landon Parks, Dave Everton, Donald Conover and Joey Fagan. 

   Thanks also to the organizations and individuals who contributed financial donations to the project: BIG, WIG, IKC, NIG, CIG, EIG, Tom Rea, Bambi Dunlap, Mark Sparks and Don Conover (on behalf of Ohio Grottos). 

Thanks again and a big TIP-O-THE HARDHAT to all,

Brian Leavell
