Dr Karvonen was the the principal at my elementary school in the early ‘70s.
I still remember those years of filing into the schools gymnasium to watch, what at the time felt like another one of his endlessly boring nature films. Little did I know then the profound and enduring love of nature he instilled within me.
A love and appreciation that endures to this day and will do so until the day I die, which will be within the year due to terminal cancer, and should my wish be granted, I’d very much like to pass away surrounded by the nature he taught me to love.
I sincerely wish I’d looked him up years ago, to thank him personally.
Unfortunately, it will need to be a heartfelt posthumous thank you.
With much gratitude,
Randall Unland
