Stanley Maixner was born April 20, 1920 in Slope County, North Dakota, son of John and Luella (Langer) Maixner. He grew up on the family farm in Slope County and attended local country school. Stanley graduated from St. Mary’s High School in New England, attended Dickinson State Teachers College and taught country school for one year before attending NDSU. He then enlisted in the United States Army where he served in the Army AirCorp as a Raidar Operator in B24 Bombers. Stanley flew in more than 27 missions over Berlin, serving along side Jimmy Stewart. He also escorted JFK prior to his election in 1960. After being honorably discharged, Stanley returned to the family farm to continue farming. It was during this time that he met Patricia Fisher.
