some back story:

My dad, Jean-Luc Bombardier with the Plaisted Polar Expedition made the trek to the north pole on Bombardier Skidoos reaching 90° N on April 19, 1968.

1st to reach the pole, congratulations to Jerry Pitzl, Ernst Michel, John Moriarty, and those who have passed: Jean-Luc Bombardier, Ralph Plaisted, Walt Pederson, Art Aufderheide, Don Powellek, Weldy Phipps, Col Andy Horton, George Cavouras, Bumps Woolsey.

After an unsuccessful, but fantastic attempt in 1967,(covered by CBS journalist Charles Kuralt and written in his book https://www.amazon.com/Top-World-Adventures-Misadventures-Expedition/dp/B0006BU5NA), this time starting earlier and at Canada’s Ward Hunt Island on Ellesmere Island, Plaisted began the 412 miles traverse on March 8, and successfully reached the pole 90°N on April 19, 1968, confirmed by the USAF on April 20).

Confirmation by National Geographic that the Plaisted Polar Expedition of 1968 was the first to travel across the surface to the north pole was HUGE. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B082XLHP8G/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_trfxEbDXPC8ZT?fbclid=IwAR0Vtb5wU_Z98n_3QeIrpixEWkNj1rrWuK_0X_Sfu0vomyf5XGxnvUvHi24

He was a Distinguished Alumnus of Hampton University and Howard University and received career and achievement awards from the American Heart Association, American College of Cardiology, and American College of Physicians. Dr. Haywood conducted pioneering cardiovascular research, developed the first digital heart rhythm monitor, and established the coronary care unit at the Los Angeles County Hospital-USC Medical Center which was renamed for him in 2016. Also, Dr. Haywood helped to establish and led the Sickle Cell Anemia Research Foundation and was a founding member of the Association of Black Cardiologists.

There is no way that this marker can address all of his accomplishments in the medical field. However, this is our way of showing respect and gratitude for his research in cardiology, hypertension, cardiac arrhythmias, and sickle cell anemia.

We invite you to be present for the unveiling and dedication of this marker. A reception will follow the ceremony at the Warrenton Rural Fire Department on South Main Street.
