Stan. Angry Stan. He's a great guy once you get to know him. But before that? Not so much. He just seems so angry all the time. And mean. His face seems to be a permanent scowl and his joy comes from your disappointment. Or does it? Yes its his job to keep you out of the track without a key, but its not his fault that his employment causes him to be cruel. He has a family to support, so he can't upset the big boss man and lose his job. His two young children and delicate wife don't see Stan as the angry fun killer you do. Marie, Ally and James see him as a strong guy doing what he has to for his family. And they love that about him. However, there are other reasons some people dislike Stan. He is a BIG practical joker. He squeaks, gets stuck to the pole, and sometimes even tries to steal the very keys that open him up. This causes the teachers and coaches to dislike him just as much as the kids like you, who just wanna run, just wanna play. Stan isn't very liked at his place of work, the track, but he tries not to let it bother him. He spends lots of time alone, so he has to think of things to do to entertain himself. One talent he has discovered during his time alone is song making. By clicking on the metal in different ways he is able to produce a beautiful melody. He never has shared that talent with anyone for fear of being judged, but its quite a wonderful thing to witness if you manage to sneak up on him. So it turns out Angry Stan isn't so angry after all. He's just a good worker.And that's something young people should admire not knock down.
