Title: Ayr Interview, June 2, 2020
Date: June 2, 2020
Creator: Ayr; Dan Kerr
Description: Ayr discusses how he was going to visit friends and family across North America, but is no longer able to do this because of COVID-19. He said COVID-19 hasn't had a huge impact on him, and he did get to extend a visit to family in Texas once the virus hit the US, helping out his nieces and nephews with school work. The knowledge that life is a gift has kept him going through this time, which is not too big a change for him from "normal" times. He is trying to look for and focus on positivity during this time while staying with his mother. He hopes that our western, North American society continues learning to live in a different way, especially in terms of caring for the environment and each other, focusing on personal connections.
