It’ s amazing how some words and phrases disappear from our communal lexicon— only to reappear when the time is right.
“ Good old-fashioned ingenuity” has not been in the vernacular for some time, but the moment certainly is ripe for ingenuity to show its lovely face.
And fortunate for us, it has surfaced fully— right here in Vermont.
For example, in our holiday issue of VERMONT Magazine, we published a feature on Vermont Glove— which has manufactured beautiful hand-made gloves since 1920. The holiday issue was published in November 2019. Never could I have imagined that less than 6 months later, Vermont Glove would actually be on the forefront in combatting the COVID-19 Pandemic.
Early on in the public health crisis, the family-run company paused glove production. Instead, they used their employees’ skills and the company’ s perfectly-equipped facility to sew protective face masks for medical and community workers. They openly acknowledged that the pivot in production had dual goals: they considered producing masks for“ the everyday heroes” across the country a great opportunity to meaningfully contribute to society and the adjustment in their product line also enabled them to keep their employees on payroll during this economic crisis.
If that is not“ good old-fashioned ingenuity” at its best, I don’ t know what is!
At VERMONT Magazine, we are not only proud to celebrate the best of Vermont, we are grateful to those who make Vermont so special!
