My Grandmother's first cousin was a part of "The Byrd Arctic Exhibition" I wrote The Ohio State University Archives. Laura J. Kissel, Polar Curator, not only confirmed, but also sent copies of papers concerning Robb Church OERTEL! It is my hope that someone on the List will also find a connection. Please note that Ms. Kissel states: " If others want their very own copy of the list, they should know to contact me directly for that (i.e., you are not allowed to make photocopies of yours)." Her address is below. The Ohio State University Archives, Papers of Admiral Richard E. Byrd, RG 56.1 "Personnel Of Officers & Crew Of The Byrd Arctic Exhibition."
