hi, searching for anyone who may have wintered in palmer during ʹ93 (i think) and might have known my father, joe shields…
wow great, thanks, glennǃ i dont think iʹve seen that pic. unfortunately he passed away in ʹ96. he said he enjoyed the people he met there a lot and i was interested if anyone had any pics etc.
hi plumdog,i wintered at palmer in 1993. i remember your dad very well. it was a small crew at first that quickly turned into a big family. we had a really great time. i was very sorry to hear that he had passed.i think i might still have the negative of our winter over photo, or i could scan one of the prints i have, if you would like a copy.i am still in touch with most of the crew as well. i will send a note and see what other photoʹs we can come up with.dave
i missed him by two years. but i do know a lot of the people he wintered with… the picture below is the one hanging in palmerʹs ʹʹrogueʹs galleryʹʹ, the stationʹs winter-over pics.
a copy of the photo would be appreciatedǃdo you still work in antarcticaʔ i actually was hired for mcmurdo last year after applying three years in a row, and wouldnʹt you know it, circumstance had me back out two months before the trip.i would be most interested in palmer or south pole anyway, since mcmurdo seems more like a small town than a trip to antarcticamy email is: <ǃ-- e -->mio@alaska.net<ǃ-- e --> if you have some info on how i can get the pic.matt shields
