In keeping with his previous book, Vintage Wisdom, editor Jim Secord
sent letters out to over 200 friends and family members, ranging in ages
from 9-90, asking them to write down what they had learned and
experienced during the pandemic lockdowns, uncertainties, and fears of
2020. The responses he received were as diverse as the people asked to
respond, and taken together represent a small slice of the lives of
everyday folks during a year that will not soon be forgotten.
