Description
As Chief Medical Officer at San Quentin for 38 years, Dr. Stanley also served as a Navy medical officer during World War II. He retired in 1951 form the State Prison after writing two books, "Men at their Worst," a best-seller about San Quentin's inmates, and "My Most Unforgettable Convicts." Stanley traveled around the world as a surgeon on merchant marine and passenger ships. He was an avid horseman and devoted to Marin County History. From 1974 to 1984, Carla Ehat, with partner Anne Kent, and later Genevieve Martinelli, interviewed a broad spectrum of Marin County's long-time residents, from ranchers to politicians, including descendants of early pioneer families. This program was co-sponsored by the Marin County Free Library and the Moya Library in Ross. The resulting archive, consisting of nearly 300 recordings and their corresponding transcriptions, are housed in the Anne T. Kent California Room at the Civic Center branch of the Marin County Free Library.
