Over the past week I managed to finally update my website (the first time since November!) and changed the format of the picture layout. So, if you would like to see some pictures of Alert, just go to www.mariavavro.com and check it out! That's it for this week! Hope everyone is enjoying their Easter weekend, Maria Maria Vavro GAW Lab Operator
