He (Brian, Blossom co-owner) was among the earliest members on the front lines of the pandemic in Seattle, and handled it with such steadiness, grace and wisdom. His listserv posts were a fire alarm to those of us more insulated by time and location. His generosity in sharing his experiences AND SOLUTIONS in real time called many of us to action before the whirlwind hit and bought many of us precious time. Our store was weeks ahead of everyone else in our community in preparedness thanks to him. And many of his (and others’) protocols and solutions turned out to be national standards (masking, plexiglass, limiting customers, SD signage and markings). There were others in the conversation, but none captured my attention and admiration as much as him. Hats off.
His outstanding participation on the listserv and elsewhere has consistently been insightful, informed, constructive and forward-thinking. He is one of INFRA’s treasures.
Excellent information sharing throughout the challenges of operating an independent store during the time of COVID-19.
