"Micca's song, other than the tune, has nothing at all to do with Stan"

Stan wrote the tune - isn't that half of the song? Doesn't he deserve an acknowledgement?

"Stan didn't regain consciousness, didn't help anyone off the plane"

Everybody on the plane survived the landing. They were leaving the plane when a flashover occurred, killing the 23 passengers still on board.

Nathan Rogers, Stan's son, wrote;

"No, sir, the story is not beautiful (I agree) and those who survived were not in the plane when the critical flashover occurred. Moments before this, who knows for sure? Here are the facts: Stan was found about 6 feet from the front right door, face down, pointed toward the back of the airplane. It is not illogical to conclude that he may have been turning around to continue his search for survivors still trapped in the plane. It is one of the few small condolences I have."

I didn't mean to be controversial. I'm happy to amend what I wrote; Thirty years ago this month Stan died, in a way that would be explained if he was helping passengers from a burning aircraft.

And since no one inside the plane survived the flashover, there isn't any evidence to say that he wasn't trying to helping someone off the plane.

Stan was on a flight back to Toronto on the day I took off from Toronto to fly home. He is in my thoughts at this time. I regret his death very much but am grateful for what he achieved in his life.
