I first met Stan in Fredericton, in about 1976, between sets. I asked him what he meant by “the main truck carried off both me legs,” and he said, “The main truck is a gun carriage.” I said that I thought it was the top of the main mast. Several years later I met him again in Yarmouth. I asked the same question, and Stan replied, “the truck is the top of the main mast.”
