He served as assistant Count Emilio Pucci Sir Charles S.

Dr. Charles W. Swithinbank Dr. Paul C. Dalrymple Dr. David Wilson is accomplished in his own right. He earned his "doctor" title studying the philosophical problems of inter-culturalism, and is devoted to locating and protecting polar archives, as well as preserving stories of Antarctic exploration history. Like his great uncle, David is a keen ornithologist, and has frequently lectured on cruises to Antarctica. Dr. Wilson has also co-authored two Antarctic books: Cheltenham in Antarctica: the Life of Edward Wilson, and Discovery Illustrated: Pictures from Captain Scott's first Antarctic Expedition. The Penguin Prattle Section, at the end of this newsletter, gives info on obtaining these books. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- To participate in this special event, please send this coupon to Markie Hunsiker, 5705 Nevada Ave. NW, Washington DC 20015.

  • Freezing Weather Edition
    Vol. 3, No. 10 FREEZING WEATHER EDITION In this Issue: Antarctic Scout Wind Chill Factor The Hottest In Cold Weather Gear Freezing Weather Challenge Late autumn is here with winter around the corner. As temperatures dive, it's time to gear up for great cold weather adventures. That's a tradition running deep in the Boy Scouts of America, with an Antarctic Scout leading the way. ANTARCTIC SCOUT What do the South Pole, wind chill factor, and an Eagle Scout have in common? They all come together in Paul Siple, the BSA's first Antarctic Scout. One hundred years ago next month, five Norwegian explorers were the first to reach the South Pole. The men covered 2,000 miles in 99 days, skiing and walking across a vast expanse of snow and ice. Dogs pulling sleds helped haul their supplies. Eighteen years later, Rear Admiral Richard Byrd of the U.S. Navy set off on a two year expedition to Antarctica. Among his crew members was Eagle Scout Paul Siple. Here's how a 1965 Boys' Life magazine issue reported Siple's amazing story: The Boy Scouts of America celebrated Admiral Byrd's achievements (including the first flight over the South Pole) with the Silver Buffalo Award, Scouting's highest recognition for noteworthy and extraordinary service to youth. The United States Post Office issued two stamps in his honor. Paul Siple would return to Antarctica many times. His interest in research led him to a career as a cold weather expert. Other Antarctic Scouts followed in his footsteps for months at the South Pole where they mixed adventure with science, technology, engineering, and mathematics.

The interview was conducted in the Broadmore Resort Tower Hotel in Biloxi, Mississippi, by Brian Shoemaker and Diane Bellanger on the 12th of April, 2001. Chet, this is the story of your life and we'll ask questions as you go along, but usually they're ones that you'll prompt. You'll leave pregnant questions hanging in the air and so, we're just going to turn it over to you and let you go and we'll interject stuff if it will help out and answer questions that are in our minds. CS: I grew up in the South and I'd heard about Admiral Byrd when I was a youngster. I joined the service when I was 17. I was at Great Lakes, then I was transferred to the Seabees. I was in CBME-523 at Pearl Harbor for a while, then we went to Okinawa. And then I come back and I was on various ships and I was on shore duty at Quonset and this 2 other cook says, "I've signed up the Antarctic. Why don't you go sign up?" And I says, "OK," and I was accepted and he was turned down. BS: What year did you join the Navy? CS: 1945.

In the numbers of ships, aircraft, and men engaged, it was by far the largest single expedition ever sent to the Antarctic. Even during the International Geophysical Year, 1957-1958, when the United States established and manned LJ seven bases in support of numerous scientific proj- ects, the number of men engaged was far less than the approximately 4,800 involved in Operation High jump, which included more than 4,700 naval and marine personnel, 16 military and 24 civilian scientists and observers, and 11 reporters.

    Antarctic Deep Freeze Oral History Project Interview with Paul C. Dalrymple, PhD conducted on August 5, 1999, by Dian O. Belanger DOB: Today is the 5th of August, 1999. I'm Dian Belanger and I'm speaking with Paul Dalrymple about his experiences in the International Geophysical Year. Good morning, and thank you so much for talking with me. PD: Very nice to have you come here. Hope I can help you. DOB: Let's begin with just a very brief background. I'm interested in where you grew up, where you went to school, what you decided to do with your life. I'm especially interested in anything from these experiences that might suggest you'd end up in a place as exotic as Antarctica. PD: Well, it all goes back to when I was brought up here in Maine. My father, at a late age in life, decided to go back and get his Ph.D. degree. So I came up here to Maine with my mother and my brother, and I lived here. And something happened back in the mid-1930s which got me really interested in the Antarctic. Living out here in the country, I had read Admiral Byrd's books, and I knew all the people in those books just like I would know people that lived in the town. And a man came up here, and he gave a lecture on Antarctica. His name was Amory H. "Bud" Waite, and Bud Waite became a very famous man because later on he came up with a method for determining the depths of snow from radio echo sounding.
