Biographical Note
Donald "Dick" Walk (1933-2016) was born in Lewistown, Pennsylvania. He received his bachelors degree from Susquehanna University, and in 1959, graduated from Hahnemann Medical College. He partly financed his education by working as a professional organist. Walk, commissioned by the United States Navy and promoted to the rank of Lieutenant, completed an internship with the U.S. Naval Hospital in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania in 1959-1960. Following an assignment with the Naval Construction Battalion (acting in support of the U.S. Antarctic Research Program) and three months of special training in naval administration and cold weather medicine, he was named officer-in-charge of the U.S. Antarctic Byrd Station from November 1960 to December 1961. Walk's assignment was a part of Operation Deep Freeze 61, a U.S. naval operation taking place from 1960-1961, to help scientists in Antarctica with supplies, coordination and survival. Walk's responsibilities included general Byrd Station administration and the medical care of researchers and navy staff. He served as a dentist, doctor, and psychiatrist in that role.
Scope and Contents
The Donald Walk Papers contain materials Walk collected while serving in the United States Navy in Antarctica during the United States' Operation Deep Freeze 61. These materials include 35mm slides, photographs, magnetic audio tapes of recordings Walk sent to his family while on assignment, 8mm film, administrative reports, clippings, medical research, correspondence, and Antarctic clothing and equipment documenting Walk's experience as a psychiatrist and administrator. The collection also contains clippings and other publications that Walk collected after his assignment was completed, and digitized copies of most of the collection materials on DVDs and compact discs. The collection is dated 1945-1969 and circa 2006-2008.
