Antarctic News and Announcment
Good news for inhabitants of this planet and the environment. "Antarctic Ozone Layer is Finally Healing", says Chris Mooney in the Washington Post. http://wapo.st/2bOo9Zi
.."And the Ozone Layer over the Antarctic continent is getting better directly because of our choices and policies." I think it's important to celebrate our small wins.
Also, Colleen O'Connor, who was killed by a car last week. She won an award for the article on George W. Gibbs, Jr., right before I left for Antarctica in 2012.
She inspired and helped me in many ways. RIP Colleen.
Colleen O'Connor Wins CABJ Award for Frozen in Time!
It's been almost a year since I left for Antarctica. I woke up this time last year, wondering what the Denver Post article was going to say. Colleen said "baring a major world event, I'd be on the front page." Since it was SuperBowl weekend, I wasn't expecting it! Congratulations to Denver Post's extraordinary writer, Colleen O'Connor for writing this story- Frozen in Time. Last August, I was at the Colorado Association of Black Journalists banquet to see her receive the award.
