___________________________________
Time is of the essence.  Call the Employment Office for the routine - the
Museum is a Municipal agency so all employment passes through their
hands.  The current Asst. Curator is going to AMAI on a year long
internship in conservation, and intends to return to Alaska.  I can
answer museum related questions, but not employment routine questions,
off list please.
