Default Stan Hall passed away this morning - SSA Hall of Fame member

I helped rescue Tony Condons Cherokee from oblivion (along with Dave
Shuur at Lawrenceville who did most of the work) and got it into
Tony's hands. I too called Stan on the phone a couple of times and he
was amazingly sharp and very helpful. We were having some weight and
balance issues and Stan went back to his original plans to dig up the
datum and limits for us. I asked how he was getting along healthwise
(a few years ago) and he said that he was installing a garage door at
the moment so he must not be doing too bad for a 90 some year old
guy! I really regret I never got to shake his hand. He was a legend
and a hell of a nice guy. Perhaps Dean and Dick and marking thermals
for him in the great beyond.
