Shooting inspires peace walk
By Dennis Wagner
The Arizona Republic
via Facebook postings until
it also was broadcast by local news media.
Hutchison said a local
minister delivered a prayer
before the crowd marched
2.2 miles to Rep. Gabrielle
Giffords’ office. The mood
was upbeat and non-political. Some walkers sang.
Others talked about the
senseless violence, the acts
of heroism among victims,
and the community’s response.
“One lady had a sign that
said ‘Free Hugs,’ ” noted
Hutchison’s mother, Suzan
Davis. “And people were
hugging her.”
The walk ended at a memorial shrine created in
front of the congresswoman’s office, where some
cried quietly during a moment of silence.
Nearby, a street vendor
was selling hot dogs for $3.
A sign noted that $1 from
each purchase would go to
a victims fund. The sign advocated peace, adding,
TUCSON — The shooting rampage near Tucson
has had a profound impact
on the city, inspiring public
memorials in front yards
and prompting unlikely activism.
Amanda Hutchison, 20,
said she has never voted
and had never been involved in civil leadership
until Sunday, when she organized Walk for Peace in
the Old Pueblo with her
friend Amanda Lopez.
“We were hoping for
maybe 100 people,” Hutchison said. “But there were
over 400. It turned out really big.”
Hutchison said she used
to shop at the Safeway store
where the shootings occurred Jan. 8 and felt compelled to express her feelings: “Something just
touched me about this.”
Hutchison and Lopez
had to obtain a permit and
put up $250 for a $1 million
insurance bond for the
event. They distributed

fliers and, almost immedi- Walk for Peace, which drew about 400 people, ended at a
ately, word began to spread memorial outside the office of U.S. Rep. Gabrielle Giffords.
Stoddard remembered
as hero for saving wife
By Art Thomason
TUCSON — Friends
and loved ones remembered Dorwan Stoddard as
a man who lived his life the
same way he left it: as a
hero.
“Before CNN ever heard
the name Dorwan Stoddard, he was already a
hero,” the Rev. Mike Nowak, pastor of Mountain
Avenue Church of Christ,
told more than 400 people
who gathered Sunday at
Calvary Chapel for Stoddard’s funeral.
Stoddard, 76, was one of
six killed Jan. 8 at U.S. Rep.
Gabrielle Giffords’ “Congress on Your Corner”
event.
Dorwan’s “final demonstration of love” was to sacrifice his life for the woman
he loved, according to the
program distributed at the
service. He told his wife,
Mavy, to lie on the ground,
and he shielded her with
his body as a gunman
opened fire. Mavy was shot
in the legs and was released
from the hospital last week.
Nowak said that “Dory,”
as friends called him, lived a
life as a hero to his wife, his
family, to friends and many
others through his unselfish acts.

Guys like my father

Those who spoke about
Dorwan described a man
who spent countless hours
repairing the church where
he and Mavy attended services. The couple ran
Mountain Avenue Church
of Christ’s benevolence
ministry, helping church
members who were having
a difficult time.
Sunday’s ceremony drew
more than Stoddard’s family and friends. People who
had not known the man
came to pay their respects.
“It was restoring,” said
Ron DeWitt, a retired public-school teacher and principal who had met Stoddard only once.
Stoddard was an avid angler, and his boat, filled with
white flowers, stood in
place of a casket in the front
of Calvary Chapel.
Dorwan’s four sons
spoke about their dad’s passions: family and fishing.
“Guys like my father are
rare,” said Dale Stoddard,
his second-born son. “His
acts on that day were without second thought.”
Another son, James, said
that his dad “provided like
no other.”
A construction worker
from 1954 to 1988, Dorwan
often took his sons to construction sites.
A year after his first wife,
Arlene, died, Dorwan married Mavanell “Mavy”
McDaniel Terry, his “former sixth-grade sweetheart.” They traveled
across the country in their
RV with Tux, Dorwan’s beloved dog.
Speaking from a wheelchair, Mavy Dorwan recalled her husband.
The Los Angeles Times
quoted her as saying, “He
made me a better person.
He made me kinder. He
made me know there are
good men.”
She added: “He spoiled
me rotten. And, oh gosh, it
was fun.”

So Should You.”
Beyond the news coverage, memorial shrines and
funerals, there are smaller
signs of public sentiment
throughout Tucson. Karen
Munyon, 59, has wrapped
signs around a saguaro in
her front yard just a few
blocks from the shooting
suspect’s home. “Stay
Strong Gabrielle,” says one.
“It just touched us,” Munyon said of the tragedy.
“We had to do something.”
