In 1958 Stan went to work in base supply at Loring Air Force Base in Limestone. He was later transferred to Dow Air Force Base in Bangor in 1961. Dad enjoyed the time he lived in Bangor. He supported and followed his son, Terry through his years of Little League, baseball, and basketball at the Y. He had several nieces attending area schools and many happy years were spent on Coombs Street. Stan was transferred back to Loring Air Force Base in 1967 and worked there until his retirement in 1985.
