    I will miss Stanton greatly. From the beginning, when the entire UFO community was being poisoned against me, Stanton remained open-minded and agnostic. I will never forget the grace, intelligence and decency with which he treated me.

  2. Yes Whitley…Vale Stanton, You gave an August Solemnity to the Community of People who ‘Know’ there is a Lot more going on here.
