I want to thank all the townspeople of Orland that came out and enthusiastically supported me in my run for selectman. We came very close and if the vote hadn’t been split 4 ways I believe we would have hands down won! Although I’m disappointed with the results, I am overwhelmed with all the kind words, genuine words of encouragement and faith in me as a representative for you. I also have to thank my family for the love and support both in my campaign and even more for their words to me in my loss. That makes me a winner no matter the outcome for this blip in my life. You guys are all the Best. Lastly, but certainly not least is a huge “thank you “ for your incredible love and support I believe you were more nervous last night than I was 😁.
Thanks again and we’ll see ya round
Maybe at Sandy’s for a beer and some laughs.
Best to you all! - Stan

I’d like to wish all my students, past and present, as well as my Sensei’s that have been instrumental in helping me to achieve more than I ever imagined possible, a very Happy New Year!!! There have been others that have been examples in my martial art career that have had a profound impact on me. One of those people called me tonight and gave me great praise for my accomplishments, but I want him to know that he was one of the reasons I am who I am today. Dale I wish you nothing but good things for 2024. Love you too my friend.
