Rereading this on the train. First and most important lesson: Don't obey in advance. Don't stand by watching others lose their human rights.

Hi to all #franklinexpedition folks here!
September 2033: Me in front of 21 Bedford Place, the house Jane Griffin (Lady Franklin) grew up in and the Franklins stayed in intermittently when in London.
