One of the good guys.

I was a member of Arapahoe Rescue for three years. Stan and the Patrol were a definate positive influence in my life and, I'm sure, hundreds if not thousands of other young lives as well. I'll miss Stan's velvet-ey smooth voice and deadpan calmness mixed with just the slightest sprinkle of humor to lighten the mood in sometimes horrid situations. He definately left the world a better place than he found it.

Thanks Stan, for all you did for me and your community. I hope ARP continues to give you a long and shining legacy for others to look up to...

L/G 1 and 73 both made appaearance. L/g 1 came in hovered next to the church for about 15 seconds as the perscession was pulling in then took off, L/g 73 did the same about 3 minutes later. It was a very nice ceremony with a strong showing to celebrate the life of Stanley Giltner Bush.
