The Passing of Lloyd H. Stanley

On Friday July 30, Lloyd Stanley, 88, of Gilbert passed away at Rolling Green Village in Nevada. He was born on Feb. 19, 1916 near Lamoni in Decatur County. In 1938 after discharge from the Navy, he joined his father and brother in the family beekeeping business in Gilbert, Stanley Brothers Apiary. The Stanley Brothers kept the 100 year family tradition as a business/hobby until 1996. Lloyd also worked at Iowa State University and was mayor of Gilbert from 1966-73.

Lloyd Stanley, a long time beekeeper and lifetime member of Iowa Honey Producers entered into rest this summer of 2004. We offer our condolences to his family and especially to his brother Glenn. Lloyd had served the Iowa Honey Producers for many years in the past as a director and on the nominating committee and in various other positions. We also want to wish Glenn a speedy recovery from his recent hip replacement surgery. It was nice to see him at the Iowa State Fair although he was having to use a walker due to the surgery.

THANKS FOR THE HELP!

Thanks to all that helped at the Iowa State Fair in the Sales booth. We set a record for sales, but don’t have all the figures in for the final figure. We could not do this fund raiser without the help of all of you. We really appreciate the sacrifices that you do to work in the IHPA booth. At least this year it wasn’t as warm. The fans are great, but they just don’t always do the trick. Thanks to all the special people, you know who you are, for the fantastic job this year.

Donna Brahms, IHPA Sales Booth Manager

Success at the Iowa State Fair

The sales at the Iowa Honey Producers booth at the Iowa State Fair grossed just over $40,000 dollars this year. The booth manager Donna Brahms and all of the volunteers that worked at the booth this year are to be congratulated for such a excellent year of sales. I think a card of appreciation to Donna would be nice. If you know of anyone that helped at the booth be sure to thank them also. Considering how cool the 11 days of the fair was I think this is wonderful. Congratulations Donna and all the volunteers and also to all of the vendors.

Gordon, IHPA Treasurer
