The twelve intrepid Palmerites in the photo are listed below. This list doesn't quite
match the NSF Antarctic Journal list, which includes Dave Mobley as science tech,
but does not list Mike Butler. According to Ronnie Baltz, Mike was there all winter
(February-October, which means I must have met him); Dave Mobley was not.
