What a great story and too funny. Thanks.
Shackelton, being a no nonsense man, likely would have like to have seen the whiskey drunk and enjoyed. That would have been a more fitting tribute to his memory. They could have at least enjoyed one bottle, giving him and his brave men a hardy toast.
I wouldn’t be afraid to march into hell behind the great Shackleton!
Howdy, Slim.
There is simply NO WAY that I would have been able to resist trying this Scotch. None!
I bet the Kiwi PM tried it, but wouldn’t ‘fess up to it. Typical lying politician. ;)
I would have switched it out for Cutty Sark and called it good.
How you been?
It also is worth noting that this Shackelton hut exits because Scott refused him the use of the better positioned hut Scott left from his first pole try, on which Shackelton had participated.
Read both, Shackleton was a bad@ss.
One more amazing thing was that so many of those guys who survived this ordeal went on to WW1 and were killed in combat.
I’ve been doing pretty well Slim! Sorry for the delay.
My daughter is in 4-H and we have been busy getting ready for the livestock show and sale the past few weeks. The show was last Wednesday and we did the final cleanup on Sunday. What a relief!! How are you?
Doing good! Glad to hear that things are well with you and yours.
Perhaps they did.
