The Robertson Association (or TRA), was named after the founder of Old Timers Reunion (Robbie Robertson, for whom our highest award —the Robbie— also is named). Among many other activities, like wedding receptions and NSS Conventions, OTR is a reunion of Cavers that takes place on the property that TRA owns. Although OTR and TRA are hand-in-hand partners, it is The Robertson Association that maintains a governing Board of Trustees for it to exist as a legally recognized 501c3 nonprofit organization.
