Stan was born in Bremerton, moved to Silverdale at age ten, and went to Ecuador in 1949. Marian is from Manitoba, Canada and went to Ecuador in 1950. Stan and Marian met in Ecuador and married in 1952. Their four children – two sons and two daughters – are married and live in Washington with the exception of one son in Alberta, Canada. They retired in 1995 after serving in the mountains of Ecuador for forty years. Please pray for their continuing good health and usefulness to the Lord.
