[Rhodes22-list] Memorial/Celebration of life for Stan

[Michael McKay]

I wish I could join you folks to celebrate Stan.  I had the good fortune to host him in my hotel room for three days during the 2022 Annapolis Boat Show.  (Mike Corley and I convinced him that sleeping on his display boat on the show grounds was not a great idea.)  He told us wonderful stories about his career and his great love for Rose…I wish I had recorded them.  In spite of his infirmities, his mind was so crisp and clear—he was the definitive “super-ager”.

I’ve attached a picture of him at the show, and another of the boat.
