Biographical Note

Harold Stanley "Stan" Sanders (1927-2008) was a rockhound, numismatist, philatelist, tropical fish fancier, deep-sea fisherman, bull rider, deltiologist, antique bottle collector and race car driver to name a few of his many and varied passions and pursuits. Sanders founded his own business, with his wife Ellie, in 1966, Priced-Rite Trophy, that they ran successfully for many years. His Stans Sanders Window Shade basketball team won 121 straight games, a record that still stands, and his Priced-Rite Trophy slow pitch softball team won many championships. He was also a World War II veteran and served his country honorably.

(Biographical note quoted from Sander's obituary published in the Salt Lake Tribune, August 28, 2008.)
