Abstract: This is a mini oral history that I did with George Carter, my dad, about silver linings

JC: All right. Hi, my name is Jessica and I'm an undergraduate student at ASU enrolled in history 494. The date is February 21. And the time is 124 1:42pm. And I'm speaking with George Carter, I wanted to ask you have a question about your pandemic experience. Before I do, I would like to ask for your consent to record this response for the COVID-19 archive. The COVID-19 archive is a digital archive at ASU that's collecting pandemic experiences. Do I have your consent to record your response and add it to the archive with your name?

GC: Yes. Perfect. Thank you. First, you tell me your name, age race and where you live. George Carter, age 60. White live in Rancho Cucamonga.

JC: All right,

GC: California.

JC: Thank you. Now I'd like to just ask you a quick question about the pandemic. We've experienced a lot of changes in 2020. And many of them have been negative and disruptive. But perhaps it's not all bad. Once one positive thing you experienced during the pandemic.

GC: My positive thing is there's a lot less traffic on the freeways and highways. I deliver cars. So, less traffic on the highways.

JC: [static]

GC: Sorry I didn’t catch that

JC: Sorry, kinds of pandemic and everybody's staying inside their own houses has made it easier for you to do your job.
