This is Vernon Gerard’s niece Bhex posting for her uncle.

We would like to invite everyone to drop by the launch of Dr. Gerard’s first book: With Hillary at Scott Base: A Kiwi Among the Penguins on 14 September, 2012 at the Upper Hutt City Library.

The New Zealand Antarctic Society (Inc.) has posted details on this launch, which I will reproduce here:

Vern Gerard, now 87, one of the only 6 remaining survivors and the only physicist in the TAE-IGY group led by Sir Ed has finally wrote a book entitled – With Hillary at Scott Base (A Kiwi Among the Penguins) published by Bateson Publishing Ltd.
