Alice and family friend Stan Weber, avid trout fisherman.
Stan Weber was a good friend of Alice and C.H. who introduced them
to the simple pleasures of trout fishing "up north". Stan and Kalamazoo
Symphony trumpeter Jim Shumaker owned a log cabin along the banks
of the Boardman River where they hosted weekends of fishing and morel
mushroom hunting. It was a good chance for Alice and C.H. to take a break
from their high profile life in Kalamazoo.
Stan was an astute businessman and part owner of Lew Hubbard's men's
clothing store on the Mall in downtown Kalamazoo. He was also an
enthusiastic Kalamazoo Symphony supporter.
Stan was a longtime member of the Kalamazoo Valley Chapter of Trout Unlimited.
When he died in 1998, he bequeathed his estate to KVCTU. A Stanley Weber
Projects Fund was established to help organizations with conservation projects
related to coldwater fisheries.
