I went over to the Salvation Army on Christmas Eve and helped on the Soup Line. It was kinda sad. The guys, and they were 90% guys, were in hard shape. Some were drunk and some were demented. There was only one white guy among them - the rest were native. Anyway we gave them ham and scalloped potatoes and some vegetables. Itr wasn't a bad meal. I didn't take my camera or take any pictures because I thought it would be disrespectful.
Good luck getting to Baker Lake.I hope that Christmas found you well,sounds like it did with your volunteer experience last night.I spent part of last year working in Baker Lake on the crew unloading barges for Agnico Eagle and I kind of miss it there.
