This edition of The Hunter also includes details about our summer internship program , which was a remarkable experience for many young shareholders . We welcomed interns at both the high school and college levels , providing valuable real-world experience . From our Kotzebue headquarters and Anchorage office to various locations throughout the lower 48 , these young and talented shareholders contributed their skills and enthusiasm to diverse projects .
