Southern Indiana Business May-June 2020 | Page 51

Matt Denison Director of Operations and host of The Hoosier Report with Matt Denison at WXVW-1440/96.1 Single best thing about being involved — living and working — in Southern Indiana: Clark and Floyd counties is a special place, full of individuals, organizations and businesses that are willing and ready to step up to help in tough times. There’s no question that the community spirit and pride in each of our local cities and towns is what makes Southern Indiana extra special to me. How has the coronavirus outbreak impacted your life most and what will you tell future generations about COVID-19 from your perspective? The COVID-19 pandemic has affected nearly every aspect of my life, from work to fun and family. While the threat is severe and scary at times, it’s been a welcomed changed in pace — people sitting outside or on their porches, parks and walking trails are extremely active and we actually have time to pick up the phone and reach out to an old friend. Every generation has its challenge, and this is ours. I’ll use the coronavirus in the future to remind oth- ers how quickly our everyday lives — our freedom to do what we want, when we want — can change. May / June 2020 51
