Stanley Lebar, a retired electrical engineer with Westinghouse Electric Corp., died on Wednesday from complications following a recent surgery. He was 84.

A fine story, Earl. You captured my father's accomplishments on deadline right before Christmas. He would have admired your work.
Small corrections -- He founded and was president of the Friends of the B&A Trail. My daughter's name is Linsteadt. And my sister lives in Springvale. My brother and I understand perfectly the errors. I'm sure we were in a rush imparting the information as you were on a tight deadline to get it done.
Again, thank you and the Cap, my former paper, for noting my father's work and his meaning in our lives.
