This is coming to you from my remote location and I suspect that many of you may be in the same boat as I am. I hope that all of you are doing well and staying healthy. These sure are interesting, and for those of us who do what we do, challenging times as
well. </div>

Question One: What do you do in regards using narrators with a foreign accent? Do you use them? This comes because I have had a volunteer application sent to me from someone who is originally from India? I have not spoken to her directly as we are clearly
weeks away from opening up to outside volunteers, but I wondered how the rest of you would handle this. Many of the foreign nationals that I know and are friends with speak and read English fluently but the accent is still there. Suggestions?</div>

Question Two: Have any of you or your institutions come up with procedures for restarting the recording process after this Covid 19 "shelter in place" ( we've officially called it "Hunker down, Hoosiers" here in Indiana)? If you've got anything written down
or anything at all, I'd be interested in seeing how you might be handling the reopening.</div>
