Jackie, You are a true survivor! I hope someday we can meet and exchange "ice" stories!Dave's work has been very interesting to my class. It's hard for a student sitting in the sub-tropics to understand the challenges of work of the sorts that Dave and his team do, but you have done a great job of bringing it home to us!I hope we can follow-up after the expedition to see what he has learned from the ice cores he retrieved. Safe trip home :) Lollie
