students, teachers, Alcoa employees, and others
If one of you reads this and sees something wrong (or that you don't like), PLEASE let me know so I can correct it. I don't want to misrepresent anyone. (Also, if you know of better pictures of yourself, please get them to me.) Discretion prevents me from revealing ages of people who might not want them revealed or otherwise discussed. Let's say there was a significant diversity in age and maturity in the group.

These were the living arrangements:
- Alisa and Wendy
- Karen and Sara
- Mark and Terrence
- Julia, Elyssa, Alex, and Izela (aka the girls' room)
- Jair, Bill, and Luis (aka the guy's room)
- Bri and Gary
There were four bathrooms, which were shared by all of us, including the scientists. There was also an outside shower, mainly for pool use, but also used to some extent for washing (in bathing suit).
A few observations on this fine collection of folks.
Quite a few people were given the expedition as some sort of grant or gift, and were required to keep diaries and other documentary evidence that they actually did something other than go to the beach and drink beer. (Need to get those really incriminating pictures of Jair from Terrence and put them here.)
Jair was the big man. If something large needed moving, he was the guy (although we found at least one rock the last day that we didn't think he could move, even if he was there.)
Terrence was the unofficial photographer, with by far the best camera gear. This did not stop lots of other people (including your humble scribe, of course) from using theirs as well. Terrence said he would set up a website where all can post pictures.
