  22. Dear Erma, Dennis and Family, I just learned of Stan's passing and want to let you know how sorry I am. Just thinking of Stan makes me smile, because he always did, always had a funny comment, joke or story. He was my very favorite co-worker (except my mom of course) during my short tenure in the late 70's working at FSB. My mom and dad, Virginia and Delmar Elders, also send their sympathy and love. They are in south Texas. You all are in our prayers.
