Stanislaw Feld was born on November 11, 1911 in Przmsyl, Poland. Throughout his life, he was a voracious reader. He spoke several languages. He loved to discuss politics, philosophy, religion and tell jokes. His favorites reflected the workplace, the cultural idiosyncrasies of people and the "locker room" themes of these limericks. His enthusiasm for learning new things, exercising his mind and body regularly with the motto, "If you don't use it, you lose it" continues to be an inspiration to his family and friends.
