You didn't know Stan, Klaus. You only knew the man he wanted you to know. You hang on to that "imagine." He was a master of "perception."
I doubt very seriously if you even know what Goodland was like prior to Stan and family moving here.
Goodland was put on the "MAP" by families such as the Pettits...that built the road to Goodland with a wheelbarrow. By Commercial Fishermen that fished locally for generations, by the Robinson's that originally owned the "Idle Hour Restaurant"...the original name of "Stans Drunk Hole." Stan came and established a bar, weekend parties that disrupted the entire community, he ran gun shot over the community with his "acquaintances." BUT...he needed the locals after all...he served mullet. I believe they were called, "Grouper Sandwiches."
Now Klaus...you hang on to those perceptions of this man...as with everything else on the Island...it is all a "perception."
