This is very sad. Stan was a good friend. Last summer, when I was very broke, Stan invited me up to Granite Falls to help him do some paid work on his boats there. (I'm a former AB in the Merchant Marine) I found out that he rarely worked on them anymore due to his health, and was only doing this to help me out. While we were sanding in the focsle, he mentioned his conjestive heart failure problems and that if he ever got sick again, he wanted a definite Do Not Resusitate order on his chart, and no extraordinary means used to keep him alive. He wanted to go short and sweet; looks like he got his wish.

The CWB venue for a memorial sounds great. Geoff - Let me know if you need help there; I've volunteered there for many NW Seaport events. What is going to become of Stan's boats he was restoring?
