Anthony Wayne Passed Away at 98

I had the privilege of meeting one of my father's shipmates before he died.  Tony spent many phone hours sharing his life and sense of humor.  One fun fact is that he was a model and a body builder with Charles Atlas.

RIP Anthony Wayne. (Anthony Kelczweski)  

The following photo was from a presentation I made about the expedition to George W. Gibbs, Jr. Elementary.  The students made the story come alive! This feels like an appropriate tribute.

FYI: There is still one man left who sailed on Admiral Byrd's III expedition to Antarctica-
Robert R. Johnson of Jacksonville, FL.  How ironic--he lives in the city of my father's birthplace.

Antarctica's Future

To date, Antarctica's history consumes most my research time.  There's plenty to learn about the USASE (Admiral Richard E. Byrd's III expedition to the South Pole), in order to keep writing.

I'm happy to say my brain is now tuned to future possibilities of our amazing continent.

It may be 5 years to launch!  Go about 5 minutes into the video to see the robot plans and animation.
