The VFW has been unable to hold meetings at the direction of our higher HQ, so we have been doing a lot of emails and phone calls. I know several of us have taken it upon ourselves to increase our telephone checks of the older/housebound veterans. Our post and district elections are scheduled for this month and I am on the ballot for district commander; we are not sure when we will be able to do installation of new officers, though.
I am one of those at-risk 73-year-olds with asthma and I punctured a lung several years ago. I have been self-quarantined as much as possible. Alma has been shopping once a week to limit her exposure. We were planning to go to Hawaii in mid-May to celebrate our 46th anniversary, but we’ll see … At least we have a small farm, so I have plenty of things here to keep us busy.
