Larson’s high standards leave remarkable legacy

Published 2:56pm Friday, December 22, 2006

We should all thank Sen. Cal Larson for his many years of service to the people of Minnesota.

I could go on about his achievements, from bonding projects for local roads and schools to his support of state parks and veterans initiatives, but what I admire most about Sen. Larson is his heart for serving others. It is evident in the way he treats everybody he

meets — with respect.

From community leaders to school children, he is always willing to listen and lend a helping hand.

In the legislature, one does not pursue so many good ideas, much less get them passed into law, without having a true conviction for serving others and the ability to garner support from both sides of the aisle.

Thank you, Sen. Larson, for setting the standard high. You are a true leader, statesman and friend.
