The December 1965 Antarctic Report lists only science personnel, and its list for the 1965 winter includes only Lawrence E. Brown and Steven R. DeWitt from Ohio State, and Verne E. Peckham (who are in neither of the photos so I have not included them in the list) as well as Arthur S. Rundle who does appear in the photos.
