Nate Chappell, of White River Junction, Vt., talks with Health Care and Rehabilitation Services co-worker Meri Steinmetz, of Taftsville, Vt., outside their office in White River Junction on Friday, April, 23, 2021. Steinmetz was hired in February but it was her first time at the office in person. She had met Chappell, who was on his lunch break, on a computer but not in person. Steinmetz had her guitar with her because she knew she would be arriving early for work and would play it to pass the time. (Valley News - Jennifer Hauck) Copyright Valley News.
