One of my favorite pieces at the art show! There is a knitting club one can join, there was recently a ping pong tournament, and also an art show. There is a coffee shop that shows movies from time to time and the residents of McMurdo are very creative. Nice talk, Jim! Science is everywhere here. There are lots of fascinating speakers! Hey look. In fact, most folks are more than happy to talk about their research or job at McMurdo. There are often science lectures and entertaining talks given by the scientists, artists, or journalists that pass through McMurdo. You can check out cross country skies, fat tire bikes, or snowmobiles (after appropriate training). The dorms have a TV but the number of stations is limited. Luckily, there is plenty to do around McMurdo. My webcasts use up about 15% of the station's bandwidth. The entire bandwidth for the station is likely less than what your house has. But the community has to make a lot of their own entertainment because there is only limited access to television and internet. Kevin Herlihy is an odd omission as well.McMurdo is like a small town. Odd that you include Kirkpatrick and not Folkard, yet their careers have been roughly the same length. I appreciate the time and effort you put into this and these types of discussion are fun. I think that, with one or two exceptions, this list (in no particular order, with the exception of the five or six first mentioned) represents the best there was, at the top of their games, during those years when I was privileged to watch and enjoy the greatest game: But here's who I did see (repeatedly in most cases). I never saw the older guys, the Sterkel's, Zimmerman's, Dudley's, etc so i can't comment on them. It occurs to me that during that period I saw some of the best and what's more, I saw them at the top of their games. I was a fastpitch devotee from about the middle '60s until about 10 years ago. Have spent the last hour or so reviewing this thread and have derived much pleasure from it.
