When a human goes missing it is 7 years before they can be presumed dead, but for an ACE vest years are marked by conferences. So
Stanley went missing before the Miracle Conference in May, at first we thought that this was a simple kidnapping and despite agreeing to the demands he was never returned. Stanley is now like Shergar a legend.
Stanley has since missed
the opportunity to appear at Miracle, OUG Scotland, Kscope, Annual Scalabilities Garden Party, SAOUG, and this week QUEST and AUSOUG in Australia.
I think the time has come to bow to the inevitable and accept he is no
more………………………….. unless you know different.
So how do you mark the passing of a legend? There are many
traditions – scatter ashes in the sea, bury in a celebrity cemetery, but we
have no body (although technically speaking Stanley never had a body). We could
as in ancient India sacrifice his wife, I know Stanley said he and Miranda are over, but she remains faithful and is still in their home (2nd wardrobe
in the study) hoping he will one day return. So we could burn Miranda and
scatter her ashes perhaps during our bay swim, and perhaps as once before we
should have a sibling reunion to say goodbye perhaps also a wake at the ACE
Director briefings. RIP Stanley Stickers?
What do you think we should do? Please comment here on his
blog or on his facebook with your favourite memories of Stanley and how you
would want him remembered.
