The above photo (full size--776kb) was an edit by D. Kent Yates of the photo that is currently
displayed at Palmer and seen below. Kent added the 3 missing names at the bottom center.

Hmmm...one doesn't have to be at Palmer Station to notice that three of the photos weren't
labeled. What happened? Well, all I know is that Kent Yates took most of these photos, but
the composite was not created before the hectic departure of the team on the Hero in December 1973.
So...I'm guessing this composite was created much later, and either the ID of these folks got lost, or their names slipped down into the bottom of the frame. The three unnamed folks are (from left to right): CE2 Gary L. Cadle, Thomas A. Kauffman (UC Davis), and UT2 Jack C. Ames. Source: w/o photo (photo thanks to Glenn Grant as well as the update from Kent Yates), and the missing names were provided by D. Kent Yates. Antarctic Journal, July/August 1973, (full size unedited original image, 4.2 mb) (here is the older smaller version of the winterover photo, which I converted to black-and-white, the original was also from Glenn).
