Hi Mary Anne - I thought you would be interested to know your personal anti-polar bear rifle trainer and fellow Chico Junior High science teacher Marco Chinchay and his wife have given birth to a lovely baby girl. Her name is Georgia May and she and her mom are doing fine! Marco called to ask about your expedition.
Your journal & photo essay are incredible! This semester your students will be very lucky to learn about your experiences over the summer. How are the ice conditions? Will you be leaving by boat or helicopter? On time or do we start school without you? 104 degrees in Chico today. I hope you can handle it upon your return. Does Polartrec pay for P.G. & E air conditioning bills to acclimatize you to the Chico summer heat? I'll set the thermostat to 50! Keep the news coming. Love Mike.
