I think Kerry and Bill have that quote posted at the bottom of the home page on the PC website.

That's an interesting story, the whole Shackleton expedition. I always wonder if the unexpectedly high response was due to the possibility of fame or the adventure. I would hope that the guys responding would have had a few more questions at the formal interview.:lol3:

But as far as the possibility of an exploratory adventure into uncharted territory, I'd at least have a look into an ad like that. I do like adventure, but a deathwish.....not so much.
And I'm cool w/ giving credit where credit is due, but I'm not really all that interested in the whole recognition thing.

Anyway I was all set to post my help wanted ad when I saw this title, so here goes. The boat and motor are dealbreakers mind you.
