Once again Arnold, you have brought to us another wonderful thread!! Thank you!
Although set in the late 1940s' - late 1950's time period here is Patsburg's tribute to essential workers of 2020 Covid 19.
Fire Dept. and EMT/EMS personnel.
Liquor stores. ( Okay not essential to all folks, but heck, a nice beer every now and then is a nice luxury especially during 2020 Covid 19 crisis )
Sanitation workers on on the front lines. ..... in my neighborhood every Tuesday and Thursday. These guys just got off work circa 1954.
Truckers who are an essential part of the supply chain.
Trans- loading personal who again are an essential part of the supply chain.
Delivery drivers who get stuff to our homes safely so we do not have to venture out. Policeman/women (who probably haven't had to hand out as many speeding tickets and parking violations over the last couple months) who are always there to keep us safe from whatever may come.
Musicians of ALL genres, who while not performing in live venues right now, provide music for all to enjoy as we are at home ... via iPod, XM radio, live stream concerts, on line performances etc. and music recorded before the pandemic. What is a day without music .... music is everywhere helping to lighten our load .... the soundtrack of our lives, before Covid 19, certainly during and will be after.
Railroad workers play such an extremely vital part in keeping our supply chain moving.
Comedians who keep us all laughing during these uncharted times. Laughter is wonderful medicine! Here is my attempt at a bit of comedy! A precious commodity load is being delivered to Patsburg. I wish I had some grocery store check out folks & stock personnel, doctors, nurses, pharmacy personnel but I unfortunately am coming up short in my "little folks drawer" where I store extra citizens who rotate in out to populate Patsburg. My total heartfelt appreciation goes out to all those folks too.
