I regret to report that Dr. Robert W. Mitchell, famous Texas cave biologist, invertebrate zoologist,  and nature photographer, passed away 

at his home in San Antonio, Texas, March 18, 2010, after a long illness. His family and many friends met at the home on March 27, 2010 

for a memorial celebration.
