		My father, Captain Finn Ronne, who became an American citizen in 1928, replaced him on the Second Byrd Expedition (1933-5), and later, as second in command, built a base in the peninsula area on Stonington Island for the U.S. Antarctic Service Expedition in 1940-2.
		My father achieved his dream of having his own private expedition in 1946-8, the Ronne Antarctic Research Expedition, (one of only three private American expeditions, ever; the other two were financed by their wealthy leaders while my father, an immigrant, begged for donations from the government and geographical and scientific institutions).
		My mother, Edith "Jackie" Ronne, 20 years younger than my father, at the last minute, accidentally went along on the 15 month expedition, becoming the first American woman to set foot in Antarctica and the first woman, period, to over-winter there as an expedition member.
