and Fiona walked to the North Pole, hence they were the first women to reach
both poles on foot. The trek went from tiny Ward Hunt Island in the Canadian
Arctic to the North Pole, a distance of about 480 miles as the crow flies

Originally from Chichester, England but now living in London, Catharine has
worked as a stage manager and location manager for theatre and then for the
BBC.
In 1992, Catharine set off for two years traveling on her own. During her time
away she lived in the outback of Australia, jumped out of planes in New Zealand
and spent time with the indigenous people of the Solomon Islands and Borneo.
Her thirst for adventure increased and while cycling around Jordan she became
intrigued by the polar regions. Three years later, after much research, Catharine
was introduced to Adventure Network, who invited her to join their expedition
to the South Pole.
Struck down with frost bite and at the risk
of losing her finger Catharine continued with the 680-mile journey, walking
8 hours a day, eating 5000 calories a day to keep her strength up and sleeping
in 24-hour sunlight. She finally reached the South Pole in January 2000.

Doctor David HARTLEY MD
FRS [1705-1757]
the English physician, psychologist and philosopher was born June 1705 at Ludenden,
Halifax, West Yorkshire, to Reverend David HARTLEY, vicar of Armley,
and his wife Everald WADSWORTH. His mother died three months after his birth.
David's brother was James HARTLEY [see Marcellus
HARTLEY]. His father, an Anglican clergyman, died when David was only fifteen.
David was educated at Bradford Grammar School and Jesus College, Cambridge,
at first for the Church, then changed direction [he most strongly objected to
the theory of eternal punishment] and became a successful medical practitioner.
His chief work ,"Observations of Man, His Death, and His Expectations"
[1749], relates psychology closely to physiology and develops a theory of the
association of sensations with sets of ideas which forms part of an associationalist
tradition running from HUME through to MILL and SPENCER. His links with COLERIDGE
can be seen in his poetry and in his decision to name his eldest son HARTLEY
COLERIDGE David HARTLEY lived at Newark, Bury St Edmunds, London, and finally
died on 28th August 1757 at Bath, Somerset.
Hartley was married twice. The first time
in 1730 to Alice ROWLEY, who died the next year giving birth to their son David
[1731-1813]. His second marriage was in 1735 to Elizabeth PACKER [1713-78],
the daughter of Robert Packer of Shellingford and Bucklebury, both in Berkshire. David HARTLEY had two sons
- by his first wife, David HARTLEY MP [below] and by his second wife, Winchcombe
Howard HARTLEY. Also a daughter, Mary HARTLEY, well accomplished
in literature and the fine arts.
Winchcombe H HARTLEY was Colonel of the Royal Gloucestershire Militia, and MP
for the County of Berkshire in the Parliaments of 1774-80-90. He died in 1794,
leaving an only son, the Rev. Winchcombe Henry Howard HARTLEY, Vicar of Bucklebury.
Rev. Hartley died in 1832, leaving a son,
Winchcombe Henry Howard HARTLEY, Colonel of the Gloucestershire Militia, and
High Sheriff of Berkshire in 1838, also a daughter, Elizabeth Ann, who married
the Count de PALATIANO, a Greek noble, who fought in the American War of Independence.
W. H. H. HARTLEY came into possession of the manor in 1833. After he died in
1881 .the estates in Berkshire and Gloucestershire descended to his co-heiresses
- the Countess de PALATIANO, Mrs. WEBLEY-PARRY, Mrs. Acreman WHITE, and Mrs.
Charles RUSSELL, but a partition of the estates was carried out in 1906. [Since
that time the families of each of these ladies have been lords of the manor
in turn. The title now being held by Mr. Willie Hartley RUSSELL whose father
restored the remains of the old mansion to form the present Bucklebury House
in the late 1950s.]
* Henry Harclay [c.
1270 – 1317] Chancellor of the University
of Oxford [1313-1316], a former Priest educated at the University of Paris [c.1300]
where he was influeneced by Scotus. He was later a Secular Master [c.1310] and
Scholastic Philosopher, a radical 'Thinker' who questioned Aristotle regarding
Infinity and Eternity. His twenty-nine Quaestiones Ordinariae cover a range
of topics in metaphysics, theology, physical science, philosophical anthropology
and ethics, which were among the most important of those debated in the early
14thC. The articles provide a window to this era, as Harclay discusses many
of the main questions of his day: whether and why we choose what is evil, how
God can know the future and we can still be free, what a virtue is, whether
the human soul survives death, whether all things are made up of atoms. He was
the son of Sir Michael Harclay and Joan Fitzjohn, and the younger brother of
Andrew Harclay [see History

David HARTLEY
MP [1731-1813]
son of the philosopher David HARTLEY [above], he was born at Bath, Somerset
in 1731. David studied medicine at the University of Leyden. During the 1760's
he gained recognition as a scientist and, through mutual interests, became an
intimate friend of Benjamin FRANKLIN. He entered Parliament as MP for Hull,
East Yorkshire in 1774 and sat until 1780 and again from 1782 to 1784. David
was sympathetic to the Rockingham Whigs, although he did not hold office in
either Rockingham ministry. He was expert in public finance and spoke frequently
in opposition to the war in America. In 1778 he wrote a pamphlet "Letters
on the American War" which accused Great Britain of tyranny over the colonies,
urged recognition of American independence, and proposed 'mutual naturalization'
between the two countries. Although a liberal on American policy, David was
a long-time friend of NORTH and strongly disliked SHELBURNE. He supported the
Coalition by voting against Shelburne's peace preliminaries.
David was sent to Paris in April, 1783, to negotiate the definitive "Treaty
of Paris" with the United States and to make a trade agreement. The Treaty
was signed on 3rd September 1783. Featured in the picture [with David HARTLEY
not yet painted in on the right] are John ADAMS, Benjamin FRANKLIN, John JAY,
Henry LAURENS and William Temple FRANKLIN [the latter two were omitted from
commemorative stamps] A 20 cents US postage stamp in 1996, commemorated the 200th anniversary
of the "Treaty of Paris" [1783], which marked the formal end of the
US independence from Great Britain.
After 1784 David HARTLEY retired from public life. He died at Bath, Somerset
on 19th December 1813. On Putney Heath is an obelisk erected by the Corporation
of London, in 1776, commemorating David HARTLEY's experiments. Belvedere, where
the Hartleys lived, is described as a "most beautiful spot, upon a high hill,
at one of the extremities of the town of Bath, commanding an enchanting view
of the Avon and all the surrounding country".

HARTLEY
Marcellus Hartley Dodge, Snr. [February 28, 1881 –
December 25, 1963] was the Chairman of the Board of Remington Arms Company.
He married Geraldine Rockefeller Dodge [1882-1973]. He lived in Hartley House,
located at Spring Valley Road on Hartley Farms in Harding Township, New Jersey.
The Marcellus Hartley Dodge Award is bestowed in his honor.
Marcellus Hartley Dodge, Jnr. [1908 – August 29, 1930] was the heir to the
Remington-Rockefeller fortune who died in a car accident in France. He was the
son of Ethel Geraldine Rockefeller [1882-1973] and her husband, Marcellus Hartley
Dodge, Sr. [1881-1963]. He was a grandson of William Rockefeller, co-founder
of Standard Oil, great-grandson of Remington Arms Company founder Marcellus
Hartley, and grandnephew of Standard Oil's other co-founder, John D. Rockefeller.
Dodge was often referred to as "Hartley." Dodge was instantly killed in an automobile
accident on August 29, 1930, when his automobile struck a tree on the Bayonne-Bordeaux
road in Mogesca, France shortly after his graduation from Princeton University
in June 1930, where he played football. The car then caught fire and two passing
motorists, Henri Dupin, and Paul Theau, pulled the dead body of Dodge out, and
the still living Ralph Applegate. Dodges carotid artery had been severed, and
the car engine was pushed against the back seat. Marcellus Hartley Dodge, Sr.
went to the site of the accident and looked at the car and talked to the two
men who pulled the bodies out of the wreck. His mother, Geraldine, had sent
him there as a diversion from his hobby of aviation, which she felt was too
dangerous. His parents provided for the Dodge Gateway on Princeton's campus
in 1933 in his memory. In addition, the Dodges contributed to the construction
of the gymnasium at Columbia University that is also named in his honour ...
the Marcellus Hartley Dodge Physical Fitness Center. Dodge's mother also gave
Madison, New Jersey the Hartley Dodge Memorial Building that was dedicated on
Memorial Day, Thursday, May 30, 1935 to house its police department. This building
now houses Madison's Borough Hall.
