My husband, Leland (Lee) Walter was a student when Stan was high school principal in Cooks, MI.in 1948-49. We loved catching up with Stan after he moved to Bonita Springs. We did that for several years in Bonita Springs, and we met with him when he still summered in Nameh when we visited the UP. He also joined reunions of the class of 1949 in the UP. He was full of life and loved everyone and every experience. We will miss him! Lee and Linda Walter
