If you know him;  I have a question I have been fairly itching to ask;

I read a book called "The Longest Cave" which was all about the exploration of
the Mammoth Cave / Colossal Cave complex in TN.  (There IS a place named "Y2",
there IS a "Bedquilt")  In this book is a picture of a woman named Pat
Crowthers (I dont really remember the correct spelling, sorry if I got
it wrong.)
who is mapping the cave on an IBM 1130 with a pen plotter.  My question is
if this woman is related to the adventure author of the same last name?

Thanks!
