Ichthyosaur

 

 

             On Wednesday the media appeared, transported in three additional Sugars Bear Chinooks, led by 87-00102. Reporters from several agencies, including Army public relations, local television stations, and the Fairbanks Daily News-Miner came to record and report on the activities at the site. After three days, the hilltop where we initially wanted to land and set up camp had dried out. The decision was made to park the visitors there so they would have easy access to the fossil and working members of the team. By 6 o'clock that evening, our faces where all over the three local television news broadcasts. Unfortunately, not having electricity, radio, or TV - we missed the show.

Brandon Stites, a.k.a. Joey from the TV Show "Friends"

 

 

             CW2 Brandon Stites, one of the many fine Operations Officers employed at the Sugar Bears, is shown above being interviewed for a possible radio show by KUAC's reporter Libby Casey. Brandon didn't actually make it on the radio. [Come to think of it, he wasn't even on the mission - he just hauled the press around for the day.] Libby wanted to speak with him after noticing his brilliant baby blue eyes from afar. Like most who meet him, Libby remarked just how much Brandon resembles Joey from the TV show "Friends". Brandon was so hot that day wherever he walked the snow began to melt.

 

             In the background of the same photo above, one of our new Lieutenants is following KUAC's Chuck Newman, desperately trying to be interviewed for a television spot on PBS.
