Stanley Nibbs

No one else was recognized by a postage stamp to commemorate their life; and in his case, it was more than a little fitting. In more than 55 years, countless young men came under Uncle Stanley's tutelage in the woodwork shop at the BVI High School. Virtually everyone heard him at least once as he travelled the circuit as a local preacher. He was understated. He walked slowly and spoke softly. He smiled whenever he spoke and his wit was matchless.
