Dear
Dave,
We got
our first shot mid-April and are so
glad to have those antibodies coming
along. One small step back to
normalcy.
|
I also find myself so thankful for
the vaccine researchers and
producers around the world who have
worked tirelessly to help stop the
pandemic. Hopefully this is the
start of the end of the horror and
stress that our health care workers
have endured for over a year.
Here is Catherine Heeg, my fellow
newsletter contributor, also getting
her first shot.
|
Most of us are well aware that the
sooner we get immunized, the sooner
clients will be comfortable to book
and we can travel again also!
Stay safe and strong.
Sincerely,
Dave Emery
