Maynard Malcolm Miller

Mal Miller was a family friend of my mother and father. They lived with us for about a year at our home on Staten Island. That was while they were writing and editing film for Cinerama. That was the 360 film in part about the Hillary Everest Expedition.

He was my mentor and inspiration. I think of him everyday.

Thank you very much for your friendship, your excellent teacher quality. I remember you from the deep of my heart.

I was one of the youngest participants on the Icefield (I was 16) in 1964. I wasn't a scientist or a graduate student. I was a "Sherpa", ferrying loads up to Camp 10 and other remote stations. The experience I gained that summer was more valuable than I can ever describe....it changed my life, opened doors and provided memories I shall nEver forget. I will miss Dr. Miller. I'm sure I'll meet him again on a distant mountain peak or a misty glacial valley...someday, somewhere.

My students have watched the National Geographic video on glaciers for years. With three classes of earth science students every semester, and I first starting showing the video at least 10 years ago, I feel like I knew Dr. Miller. I encourage my students to research the experts we see in our videos, so we have followed his legacy as well. What a wonderful scientist he was.

Lance,

I'm seven yours gone from Juneau after 31 years there. I'll never forget a chamber lunch where your Dad gave the news to our movers and shakers about anthropogenic global warning. I spoke with him briefly and know that his life's work will have a profound affect on the future of the world, he has the ice cores.
All the best to you and your family, one of these days I will be back for a visit, I spent 31 years in Juneau and I am a lifelong Alaskan.
If you're ever in the...

I'll never forget the ice field experience in 1987. I saw Dr. Miller about 2 years ago at Juneau's Concerts in the Park. He remembered me, even after having mentored some 4,000 students over the years. He did a lot for so many.

I can't be sad, he was a great Man and his journey ended well, he left behind great teachings and a wonderful family...RIP my dear friend and thanks.......BCW..La Paz, Bolivia

Dr. Miller was special in so many ways. We met the Millers in the 1970's, and I never saw him when he was not enthusiastic about life - his and everyone else's. Once he and Ross were stranded on the ice-field for a week. They had gone up to prepare for students, but got weathered in. When they got back to Juneau, even though students and professors had been there a week and wife Joan was "sitting" them, Dr. Miller and son arrived full of stories about the wonderful adventure they had. ...
