Many of the people are students and their chaperones, however there are a few AES employees. Midway up the left side - Kelly Jane Phaneuf (Dark hair, green sweatshirt) and beside her Kathy Gaider (clapping), skipping the gent in the striped shirt, the man in white is one of the station cooks Kerry (Joe) Setter (during this large group we had two cooks instead of the normal one). Straight above Kerry is our electronics tech - Leo Carrière, to the left in light coloured shirt and blue jeans is our station mechanic - Maurice Nau. On the other side of Leo, with his arms folded across is chest is Greg Stansfield one of the upper air techs. |

r:: Kerry (Joe) Setter, Student Expedition leader, all looking at
some of the appreciation gifts the students gave to the Eureka station
as a thank you. The red sled, each student and chaperone had a
sled, which they used during their overnight camp out during the second
week of the trip. The whole team walked out on Slidre Fiord and
about five kilometers east of the station, set up a camp and spent an
overnight, returning to the station the later the next day. The group
was well prepared for the overnight each being issued backpacks,
sleeping bags, foam rolls, wind jackets/pants, thermal clothing, etc by
Amway. Group tents each held four people. The station
remained in contact with the group throughout and had station
Bombardiers available for rescue if needed (which it was not).
