Changed a lot about the way that we live and work and do business, and tennesseans are certainly no exception to that. One thing that is been a consistent in this entire episode with the pandemic is the way tennesseans step up to take care of one another. And the numerous acts of kindness and graciousness that have been shown from neighbor to neighbor, and community to community is something that shows the goodness of the american spirit, and we are just blast to be home to thousands of people who have demonstrated their desire to help make life a little bit better for their neighbors and their friends, and sometimes for people that they do not know. But people who have expressed a certain need, people like jeremy hopkins. Now, jeremy is from jackson tennessee. He is an engineer at the toyota motor manufacturing facility that is up there in jackson. He became aware of the need for ppe down in new orleans at hospital. A friend of his made him aware of this need. So being an engineer he fired up his personal 3d computer and printer, and got to work making face shields for the healthcare workers in new orleans. He worked with Union University and some of the students there, union is located in jackson, tennessee. And hes able to share 57 shields to providers, Healthcare Providers in new orleans. And then used his remaining materials and he made another 173 shields for clinics in west tennessee and mississippi. Steve archer, a u. S. Air force veteran, and he is a medical supply and logistics technician. Steve lives in fountain city. He decided to head to new jersey to see how he could help to make certain that ppe was delivered on time hospitals and Nursing Homes and Healthcare Providers. So there he was helping with them. He contracted covid19. Since that time he has recovered and he is back on the job in tennessee. The knox county Baptist Disaster Relief Team has also been working some long days at severe heights baptist church. What they are doing is cooking and assembling meals for the homeless. Our famous distilleries moonshine and whiskey which they have been making their in tennessee, they have changed their production to making mass quantities of and sanitizers, and our wonderful singers and songwriters and musicians and choirs are holding concerts by zoom and online to bring some relief and happiness to people all across the globe. And we are all enjoying these virtual concerts, and the always amazing and inspiring dolly parton, she is our tennessee end of the year. And dolly is reading bedtime stories from her Imagination Library on youtube each week. And, of course, i would be remiss if i did not thank someone for women who decided to pull up that sewing machine and get busy making facemasks for critical workers across the country. Dottie, marilyn thomas, janice blair, well, they are seamstresses par excellence, and they are creating these masks and they are sending them with her is a need all across the country.
