I graduated from RPI in 1955 and wintered at Byrd Station in Antarctica as an aurora observer in 1960. Your item about Leonard LeSchack ’56 in the Spring 2019 issue’s Class Notes prompts me to mention the sheer coincidence that two adjacent topographic features in Antarctica — Mt. Brecher and Mt. LeSchack — are named for two RPI alumni who graduated a year apart in the mid-1950s and later wintered separately a couple of years apart at the same Antarctic station in the late 1950s, without ever meeting or knowing each other.
