I am not sure if you are the same Stanley I met many years ago at the first several Memorial Festivals. I used to go every year with my kids and we used to camp up on the hill near the Carter's grave overlooking Ralph's mom's house.  One year I traded one of my hats for Clincho (I think it was that) Coal mining Safe worker baseball style hat.  I have treasured that hat for years. I just moved and can't locate it now, but I remember it well as the one who I befriended many years ago.  Those were the years when they had the festival in the hollow with the steep hill. Back in those days, I had dark curly hair and a beard.  I probably have pictures in my collections of that Stanley (I can't remember his name but it could have been Noland). If you are the one, please let me know, I would love to hear from your.  Mark Zigoris, Cincinnati, Ohio
