Sip and Siple

I learn something new everyday. My lesson today was a result of driving to Montpelier, Ohio for a performance.

Please notice that Montpelier's water award is not national, but the WORLD! That's huge!

And I always wondered about ole' Paul Siple...

Paul Allman Siple (December 18, 1908 - November 25, 1968) was an American Antarctic explorer and geographer who took part in six Antarctic expeditions, including the two Byrd expeditions of 1928-1930 and 1933-1935, having first gone representing the Boy Scouts of America as an Eagle Scout. Siple was also a Sea Scout. Siple and Charles F. Passel developed the wind-chill factor, and Siple first coined the term "wind chill." From 1963–66 he served as the first U.S. science attache to Australia and New Zealand. Antarctic features Siple Coast and Siple Island were named in his honor.
