ALERT Newsletter June 2009 Vol 2 No 12

Hi Everyone,

Saturday we were treated to a feast courtesy of our Boss, Meteorologist in Charge, Jim Steckovich. We had fried fish, hush puppies, potato salad, cole slaw, and cookies. It was goooooooood.

We at ALERT want to say “thanks” to Jim for doing this for us & for the support that you and the NWS staff have given us through the years. You truly make us “feel at home”, and we are glad to be a part of your team.

And, for those of you who missed the event.

I ate your fish….did I mention it was gooooooooood?
