One thought on “Stanley Behrens”

  1. I was stationed at Ft Bragg when Stan was there and remember him playing with the Hot Nuts at a roadside Bar. You see, there was this group from NYC and California. Tex, with the Camaro, Bob with the Healey Sprite, and about ten others. Those were good days. Bruce M. was my best friend-Brooklyn.
