> The [Rochester Enable Lab (Re-NABLE)](mention:207c40b6-a26e-4912-a06f-6a9b36629c8c "/s/rochester-enable-lab/"))) is located at the Vertus High School. As the Covid era began, [Melvin Cruz](mention:15228668-a632-4496-8a03-d1fdffde5e36 "/u/mec9971/") embarked to Costa Rica, the school closed, and [Skip Meetze](mention:40c004ff-77d6-4394-9b83-d3f641dfda2d "/u/skip/"), [Jon Schull](mention:4d37d703-babf-407a-b5c0-582da39e22c2 "/u/jschull/"), [Ben Rubin](mention:317a51e6-0441-4a71-b9dd-bc0325773a5c "/u/be-nable/"), [Kyle Reeser](mention:30139462-80a2-4de4-a60f-ccf433fdbc01 "/u/kreeser1/"), [Andrea Santiago Boyd](mention:6a0d2b65-627e-4b0a-a9da-ce3b1172bb73 "/u/ansb13/") and our student interns all went home. Working from home, Skip, Jon, Kyle and Ben have joined forces with [James Whitlock](mention:fbed0d67-eeae-4b9c-8f5d-265aa58a77fe "/u/jowhitlock%40gmail.com/") and several other e-NABLE volunteers in Buffalo. [Jeremy Simon](mention:fdee1b60-53e9-43bf-9915-dd82e48c1776 "/u/jesimon/") in Illinois joined as well to contribute to work on the [Buffalo/e-NABLE Mask](http://www.BEmask.org). Fifty meetings in, the collaboration has produced a first design, and a website (BEmask.org). The work continues.
