		Vivian and I were, as I told you, in the same young crowd, but for some reason, we were never in their home in a young crowd.
		FUCHS: Well, of course, when she died -- the farm was really in her name, because her husband, Solomon, had died some years before, and you may recall, she left the farm to her daughter and to Harrison Young and there were a certain number of contests of this.
		FUCHS: What I was getting at, this one writer has indicated that some of the old people, presumably the old people, who were more set in their ways, were concerned that he would employ labor-saving equipment instead of employing more farm hands.

		Vivian Ernest Fuchs, known as "Bunny", was the son of Ernest Fuchs, who had emigrated from Germany as a child, become a successful farmer and married an Englishwoman, Violet Watson.
		When Fuchs returned home in 1950 he had proved himself an outstanding polar leader, and he was at once appointed director of the survey's scientific bureau.
		The order in which the cavalcade moved forward never varied: Fuchs was always the leader either in his Sno-Cat, Rock'n'Roll, or in the heavily canvassed areas, probing the way in one of the lighter Weasels.

	Truman Library - Mary Ethel Noland Oral History Interview, September 16, 1965
		FUCHS: One story that has made the rounds, of course, is that he had read every book, including the encyclopedias, in the public library, but people wonder sometimes just what was the public library, where was it, who owned it...
		But Vivian had a great deal of judgment; he didn’t care much about books--sitting down and reading a book was about the last thing he’d want to do, but he had great judgment, and he was a good judge of character.
		Vivian always liked the girls and he had a little group of friends and they had quite a good time when they lived here.

		The logistics of the expedition were planned with such minute detail that the pathfinding team had to over-winter on the shores of the Weddell Sea in order to construct the camps that were to store the supplies for the expedition before the main attempt got underway.
		Their reunion was brief; because they had encountered too many delays, the British explorer in fact had to make a dash against the clock so that he could arrive at Scott base before the harsh polar winter set in.
		Fuchs had travelled a distance of 3,472 kilometres in 99 days at an average speed of 35 kilometres a day.
