Abstract:  
YOU WILL PROBABLY read this article in January, but I’m writing it during the USA Thanksgiving holiday and gratitude is on my mind. Here are a few things I’ve appreciated this year. First of all, I’m grateful to Dave Barkley for the effort he made to keep our training program afloat during the pandemic. He scheduled and re-scheduled events until the global lockdown made many in-person training events impossible. He used the downtime to strengthen the training materials and plan for next year so we are ready for a busy training schedule in 2021. He richly deserves to be “Shot Peener of the Year.” Next, I’m grateful to all of our EI staff. They followed strict safety protocols and kept each other safe. Despite many challenges, they filled orders so our customers received the products they needed.
