We've been outside most of the week and now even have tans on our face or in Frank's case, the top of his head! Even though it's starting to feel abit more like summer, I'm still finding it hard to believe that it's June- my one year mark since arriving in Alert is this Thursday and my replacement is due to be here in one month! Monsters threw an 80's party on Friday night, which was hilarious. I did of course bring out the legwarmers and about half the crowd dressed up. There was a lot of teased hair going on! The helicopters for Op Hurricane should be here sometime this week and I'm hoping that the civi crew will be the same as last year because they were always pretty will to take people to Eureka for the day. That's it for now... Hope all is well in Downsview, Maria Maria Vavro GAW Lab Operator
