    Dealing with the Pandemic – Three Company Views

    By H. Clay Aalders December 7, 2020December 7, 2020

    Dealing with the Pandemic – Three Company Views
    By Stephen Garger

    In the May 2020 issue of this magazine, the “Knife News” section contained a column regarding the industry adapting to the virus impact. J. Bruce Voyles also took on the subject in his “Bruce on the Loose” page in the same issue. I reread both before I wrote this, and now approximately six months later, those pieces could have been written relatively unchanged today.
    Me and my dog, Jasper are both pretty much loners in our early 70s, and along with us this whole thing is getting old. I hit upon a bit of humor in the two articles mentioned above not because they were inherently funny, but their immediacy a half year later reinforced the idea that me and Jasper are actually living a version of the movie “Groundhog Day”! Sadly and irreparably, without Andie MacDowell!
