- josh is very exite!
We decided to keep a blog at the request of family and some friends. Hopefully you enjoy it! Josh and Lael are a college-age couple off to the barren Southland. Lael’s aunt Julia Uberuaga has worked as a heavy equipment operator at McMurdo Station in Antartica for over 30 years, and during the last few years Lael has wanated to go, and we’ve finally made the dream a reality. Josh is taking a semester-and-a-half leave of absence from the College of Idaho (Lael just graduated from there), and will return after we get back in March.
We were both hired by Raytheon, the support company that runs the various stations and research vessles in Antarctica. They’re basically the infrastructure people that make the Ice habitable for scientists to do research for the NSF (National Science Foundation) research, or research for other types of grants, etc.
Lael is also somewhat excite
We’ll be leaving for the “summer” season on the Ice, from about October to February (what with the Southern Hemisphere thing and all). We’ll then have a jaunt in New Zealand (where we land after coming back from Antarctica) before returning to the states sometime in March.
What's the easiest way to ask you privately if your aunt was a friend of mine in southern California during the late '60s and early '70s? Thank you.
ReplyDeleteI JUST got your comment, maxforc! Sorry about not responding sooner. If you'd like, please email me at laelski@gmail.com and we can chat. It is likely that you're a friend of Jules, since she lived in the LA area during that time. Hope to connect with you!
