Not only because I won it for free in a writing contest, but also because of its aesthetics, it is incredibly rugged, and is comfortable (once broken in)! Way to go Frost River!

She has a friend who is a nurse and her friend told her that the University of Iowa’s Children’s Hospital is in desperate need of medical masks. Well, I am proud to say that my wife has spent this weekend making medical masks. She is planning to make a whole bunch of them and get them to the Children’s hospital. A Facebook friend of my wife heard that she was making medical masks ... and now she is cranking up her sewing machine and making medical masks. Go Girls !

I just hope that someone in government or even private industry can get them a template and the materials they'll need.
