I didn’t know Stanley but his brother Joseph, who I followed as a volunteer in Aplahoue, Benin in 1973 told me about him. I lost my only brother in 1989 when he was 39 and know how hard it is.

It made me sad that there was so little on this man and that his passing should be so unmarked — here is a Peace Corps website that gives a fascinating account of his funeral. http://files.peacecorps.gov/manuals/cbj/1967.pdf
Sorry, Gene, I just saw this. No, I didn’t. But between having served in Nigeria with the State Department, and having roots in Wisconsin, I was interested. Looks like you’re family — so sorry for your loss so long ago.

Just came across this post. Did you happen to personally know Stan?
