To say that 2020 was a rough year is probably the understatement of the decade, but here's hoping that 2021 will be better for everyone. This morning marks one week since I left my job as a nurse in a long-term care facility, and there have been 16 new cases of COVID-19 among the patients during that week. I just couldn't deal with the physical and emotional stress anymore, so I've left nursing until this nightmare is over. I hope that the Pfizer and Moderna vaccines will work as anticipated, and that some day soon this will all be behind us. My heart goes out to the friends and family of those we've lost to this awful virus, and my deepest respect and gratitude to those who continue to fight the battle against it on the front lines. I'll be back making whistles full time for the foreseeable future, and I appreciate any business that comes my way. This community has always been good to me, and I still check in from time to time even though I haven't been very active in the discussions lately. So stay safe everyone, and best wishes for a happy new year from me to you!

Thanks Gary and best of luck for 2021! Stress in the job can be devastating on one's own health, as I had to experience for myself this year. Let's all hope life will somewhat normalize next year.
Glad to know that you are making whistles full time. If I didn't have so many already ...

Thank you for your service and a well deserved break from the pandemic is quite understandable. Welcome back to whistlemaking!

Be well.
