Lifelong Marion County resident Dennis Strow had just undergone knee-replacement surgery on March 16, just four days before most hospital procedures were postponed throughout the county due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Strow, 66, a Vanguard High graduate, has since spent a year helping care for his father-in-law. Though they maintained their distance, it was stressful for Strow and his wife, Susie. They did not want to unintentionally expose the 88-year-old man to the virus.
A few weeks ago, Strow received his second shot of the Moderna vaccine. Strow s father-in-law just had his second Moderna shot and is about a week away from being fully protected. Susie, a cancer survivor, is a weeks from getting her second shot.
