Dear Pat, I was so shocked today to hear of Dr. Stanley's death from a friend who was also his patient. Dr. Stanley was so kind and friendly to me for many years, always asking about England. I truly appreciated him coming in a couple of years ago, despite his bad back, to help me out when I broke a tooth right before a trip. What a winning personality. One in a million. With deepest sympathy, Marion Zamora
