Allentown's Scorpion Lady

"She's on TV so much she's going to need an agent."

That's what I overheard from a bank teller yesterday when I was there to kite a few cheeks. She was referring to her sister, 1998 Dieruff grad Monique Munro-Harris. If you see this blog early enough, you can tune in to see her this morning on CBS's Early Show.

While serving with the Air Force in Iraq, Monique was stung ... twice .... by a deadly deathstalker scorpion. A dangerous airlift over enemy territory saved her life. Monique's story has since been featured on Animal Planet and Channel 69.

Her proud sister tells me Monique is now a mom and college student.

You own views are appreciated, especially if they differ from mine. But remember, commenting is a privilege, not a right. I will delete personal attacks or off-topic remarks at my discretion. Comments that play into the tribalism that has consumed this nation will be declined. So will comments alleging voter fraud unless backed up by concrete evidence. If you attack someone personally, I expect you to identify yourself. I will delete criticisms of my comment policy, vulgarities, cut-and-paste jobs from other sources and any suggestion of violence towards anyone. I will also delete sweeping generalizations about mainstream parties or ideologies, i.e. identity politics. My decisions on these matters are made on a case by case basis, and may be affected by my mood that day, my access to the blog at the time the comment was made or other information that isn’t readily apparent.
