Way to go Uncle Stanley!
Hi Lee Just happened to look at your web site and was surprised and delighted to see you had mentioned by appointment to the U of W Regents. I was, however, saddened by the bio info you included….no where does it mention that I have always been a role model to you…that I taught you how to put a maggot on a hook and then not wash your hands before eating a candy bar…and that peeing in the lake in the dark really does not hurt the fish. You said nice things about me but my guidance to you and your siblings on these type of matters is what really counts in my book. (Of course I realise that I ..in contrast to you, Tod, your mom, Karen and Linda…have never written a damn book). Anyway, thanks for the kudos. Love you. Uncle Stan
