SHIPPING Shipping Received: Shipping Sent: MAIL Mail Received: Mail Sent: Alert Weekly News It was a pleasant week up in Alert, and we contined on with our routine as usual. There was a ceremony Friday for Remembrance Day, which also involved going down to the memorial site to lay wreathes. This weekend saw parties at Chimo and the Zoo. The weekly flight was delayed a day, and is now stuck in Thule with engine problems. We're now looking forward to the arrival (hopefully) this week of Armand and Dave. Hope everyone has a great week.
