Hope for “Rose”

I still think about this young woman from time to time. If she is still surviving this life, I hope she is well. And if she is not, may she rest in gentle peace.

This summer will mark eight years since I survived a violent assault from a man who has victimized at least half a dozen women and children. This predator has a history of using firearms to threaten his victims. 

Tonight in Valley City, the OH Range is hosting a dark shooting event. This predator is aware of the event. This predator loves his guns. He loves his guns so much that he refused to comply with a probation order to turn over his guns after a domestic violence incident.

Dorothy Larson

Dorothy Lee Stearns-Larson

Dorothy Lee Stearns-Larson, 72, of Osage, MN passed away Wednesday, August 14, 2024 at her home.

“Mrs. Larson” as she was known to her students, inspired countless young men and women to study the sciences and arts of life. She is fondly remembered by those whose lives she touched with her teaching and mentorship. This is why I chose to recognize her this year during Women’s History Month. She remains one of my favorite teachers. Mrs. Larson helped me to explore the galaxy as well as study the smallest of insects on this earth. She may have been a humble teacher, but she doubtless made her mark on history – not only by influencing my life, but the lives of all her students. Her life is proof you don’t have to make headlines or lead a revolution to leave behind a legacy.
