DG 22:19 Right. The name is David, or Dave, as most of my friends call me. Last name is Golibersuch and that's G-O-L-I-B as in boy-E-R-S as in sugar- U-C-H. Just say it like it's spelled, Golibersuch. I come from upstate New York, Schenechtady in particular, grew up snowy Buffalo, western New York, so I've been in winter weather most of my life. I'm up here as one of 11 members of the Aspirations expedition and this is a group of us, basically all ordinary citizens except for our leader, Paul Sherke, and the thing that has brought us together was one, the desire to reach the North Pole in the manner that basically reproduced or recreated what Admiral Peary and Matthew Henson and 4 Innuit did here back in 1909 which was their so-called final dash from 88 degrees North latitude to the Pole and, of course, there are a lot of questions historic, historians have about did they actually make it and that will probably be debated from now until the end of time, but that certainly was their plan and that was our plan, but the main, really, the big reason that we were doing it and where the name of the expedition, Aspirations, comes from is that one of our team members, Doug Hall, has founded a charitable organization called Great Aspirations which is in, organized to basically create and distribute, free of charge, inspirational material for children and parents around the country and around the world for that matter, and so part of the purpose of the trip here was actually to raise funds from corporate America to further that cause and to, and to provide the basis for creating more materials and distributing them to more and more people, as well as getting out the whole concept, and we had, actually, a major website in progress during the entire trip at www.aspirations.com and people could go there and not only could they look at much of this inspirational material, and a lot of it is really directed at parents and the idea is to get parents to be full participants with their kids and to help them and get them to aspire, to achieve certain goals, and to know that, hey, if they really want to do something and have confidence in themselves and determination and support from people and the teamwork, and all of those elements which we were trying to embody in, in whole expedition experience . And, of course, also during the trip why we had an iridium Motorola satellite phone with us and, once a day, why journal entries were sent back to a base station we had in Resolute and they were subsequently posted on the website so people could tune in every day to the website and find out what our progress had been, what our problems had been, what some of the highs and lows and, in turn, we also, most of us had iridium satellite pagers which could receive up to a 200 character e-mail message and so, a lot of the folks, literally from around the world and esp...
