After an extremely busy Summer, I am gearing up for an even busier fall. The highlight will be a trip to Pensacola, Florida at the beginning of November where I will be attending the Old Antarctic Explorers Association (OAEA) Reunion. They are a group that celebrates the history of Antarctic Exploration. This will be my first time attending, and will be joined by my fellow Antarctic Explorer, Geoffrey Lee Martin, and filmmaker, Richard Neill of Big World Pictures. Richard, Geoff and I are embarking on a journey that will ultimately lead back to the South Pole after an absence of more than 50 years! Richard Neill will be filming our expedition that will make stops in Denver at the Polar Services Office of Raytheon Corporation, Pensacola and Miami Beach, FL, and possibly even Newport News, VA.
I will keep updating our progress on a regular basis.

Back from the East Coast
Hello all,
I have returned from my trip to New York and Washington, DC. And a very successful trip it was. The Explorers Club Annual Dinner was a great success and I had fun catching up with my fellow explorers. I met some interesting new ones as well. I don't always get the chance to get back there for the ECAD but I always have a great time when I do.
After my time in NY, I travelled on down to Washington to meet with people at National Geographic and the National Science Foundation. I am still trying to put a trip together to return to the South Pole after 50 years. I had many interesting conversations about Polar topics and met so many wonderful people at both organizations. I regret not having the time to stay longer.
Anyway, now I am back and along with continuing to pursue my return to the Pole, I will be shooting for a follow-up to my "Conversations Across Time" show at Dominican University in Marin.

New Links
I wanted to let everyone know about two of my new favorite links.
The first is the U.S. South Pole website. It has lots of very interesting information about the history of U.S. involvement in the South Pole. I myself have been involved since the 1957 when I was a PIO for Operation "Deep Freeze".
The other link is the Antarctica blog that I am also a contributer to. Here you will find postings by other Antarctica enthusiasts, including photography collections and interesting links.
Enjoy...
