Harold Peary

orig. Harrold Jese Pereira de Faria born July 25, 1908, San Leandro, Calif., U.S. died March 30, 1985, Torrance, Calif. U.S. actor. He created the colourful, arrogant character Throckmorton F. Gildersleeve on the hit comedy series Fibber McGee and Molly in 1937. He starred in his own popular radio serial, The Great Gildersleeve (1941-50), considered the first spin-off created from another series. He later acted in television series such as Blondie (1957) and Fibber McGee and Molly (1959), and he appeared in the film Clambake (1967). Peary continued to perform on radio into the 1970s

Robert E Peary

born May 6, 1856, Cresson, Pa., U.S. died Feb. 20, 1920, Washington, D.C. U.S. explorer. He joined the U.S. Navy in 1881 but was granted leaves of absence to pursue his Arctic expeditions. He explored Greenland by dog sled in 1886 and 1891, finding evidence that it was an island, and returned there in 1893-94, 1895, and 1896 to transport large meteorites to the U.S. After announcing his intention to reach the North Pole, he made several attempts between 1898 and 1905, sailing on a specially built ship and sledding to within 175 mi (280 km) of the pole. On April 6, 1909, accompanied by Matthew Henson (1866-1955) and four Eskimo, he reached what he thought was the pole, and he became widely acknowledged as the first explorer to attain that goal. (The claim of his former colleague Frederick A. Cook to have reached the pole in 1908 was later discredited.) In 1911 Peary retired from the navy with the rank of rear admiral. Examination of Peary's expedition diary and new documents in the 1980s suggested that the point he reached may have been 30-60 mi (50-100 km) short of the pole
