Extra Extraordinary

A tribute from his sister Terri

Unusual remarkable Stan!  Who gets trapped at work by an "on the ground civil war?"' Stan worked in Jakarta for Lucent Technologies in the early 1990s, where he supervised a group of Americans. He unfortunately found himself in the midst of a civil war.  Now I ask you, who other than James Bond goes up on the roof of a building and gets plucked up by the US military via helicopter? You guessed it, Stan, the Extraordinary Man .  He led his team up to the roof top and they were all rescued!
