Having met Stan several times,I can honestly say he is as honest and truthful as they come . When I retired several years ago and started to play pool seriously I could not make two balls in a row. I contacted Stan and took lessons twice.just could not make it work. Turns out I had a terrible stroke. After I got that fixed I started makeing balls like crazy . I play five nights a week,American legion, VFW, country club, and two bars in my town.i routinly win these tournaments so much so that if I win two weeks in a row I have to set out a week. I am 65 years old and play better pool than most all of the other guys who have been playing 20 or more years. ( I have been playing for 6 yr) . I think the way Stan has been attacked is a crying shame. The half dozen people who continue to hate on him should be ashamed of themselves . These people are what is wrong with society today.
