another view of the photo on the wall

This was an "it's complicated" winter, as there were four LMG arrivals between 23 June and 21 August (not to mention a NBP call). The winterover photo seen here was taken sometime after 5 August, and not all of the folks seen here were around for the solstice.

W/o Matt Shildneck isn't in the photo as he suffered a heart attack and went north on 11 July, he was replaced in August by Dan Weisblatt who does appear in the photo.

Below, the list of the 27 folks in the photo or otherwise on station when it was taken:
