Stan met Lorraine in '63 and they were married in '64. They raised their four kids and have made their home in Regina ever since. In '82 Stan and Lorraine opened "Antiques from A to Z" on Victoria Avenue and ultimately renamed it to "Regina Antique Mall" when they moved to the current location on Rose Street.
