C, Holley, Erie canal, NY
He is in his 80s and living on a houseboat. He maintained he didn’t learn much about himself other than he is happy to be living by himself and has been for about 10 years. His girlfriend is 86. What 2020 reminded him of was his grandfather who drove a Model-T ambulance in Buffalo during the Spanish ‘flu epidemic. He was worried about getting sick and he would stop by a bar on his way home, where he would have a shot. The bartender advised him that if he felt sick then he should make some burnt toast and have another shot and that should prevent him from becoming sick.
