Al Gerstein writes: “For these past four years the overarching issue has been the impact of Covid on our daily lives. During this period of time we canceled one trip to Europe, have not gone to a theater nor eaten in an indoor restaurant, avoided shopping in supermarkets, and now order everything from Amazon—including a packet of 25 safety pins (who knew one could ever run out of safety pins?). As a new experience we drove a 26-foot RV from Philly to our cabin in Maine and in doing so avoided staying in motels or eating in restaurants. That’s one experience I would gladly have forsaken. However, it paid off! Neither my wife Naomi nor I contracted Covid and we are gradually returning to the lives we were leading before Covid. We’ve been going to the movies, have enrolled in an orchestra series, have rejoined the trip we had to cancel, and most important of all, plan to attend our 70th reunion. Hope to see you all there.”
