The exchange with Stan led to the first of several articles, starting in 2000, with Hoof Beats magazine.<br /><br />I have an autographed program from the 1970s with Stan's and Spencer's scribbles in the Cloud Casino at Roosevelt as a teenager with my parents. I spoke with him at Goshen (Historic Meet), Monticello (NYC OTB Classic), and Yonkers at various stake races. He was my childhood celebrity idol if there is such a thing.<br /><br />Here's to hoping he has found full fields, clean racing, packed stands, and peace.<br /><br />Sincerely, ScottScott Jeffreysnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4684463172854959042.post-20606014458087937372011-11-30T06:49:22.913-05:002011-11-30T06:49:22.913-05:00Al P.

I don't know if Blogger cut it off or I accidently dropped it.<br /><br />You will see him now on the list, but not for 'seeing Joe Faraldo'.<br /><br />My apologies to you and everyone else for the mistake.That Blog Guyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15487597769210721585noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4684463172854959042.post-22504990281845000942011-11-29T20:06:14.867-05:002011-11-29T20:06:14.867-05:00You make mention of the SOA computer, and its cons...You make mention of the SOA computer, and its constant refural to MR. GURAL, and upstate owner<br /> Well on the other hand you will have noticed that they made no mention of the passing of MR STAN BERGSTEIN, you see Stan was one of the first individual in harness racing to see the real JOE FARALDOAL P.noreply@blogger.com
