Stanley Keith Lucas was born to Shirley “Sy” Lucas and Lena (Thomsen) Lucas at the family farm near Crookston, on July 27, 1932, joining a sister, Shirley. The family moved from farm to farm, so he went to 10 different grade schools. He graduated from Crookston High School in 1951. He worked at neighboring farms for Chicoine Implement, Luther Tractor, Watts Funeral Home based in Valentine, and a seismograph crew before enlisting in the Army during the Korean Conflict, when he was stationed at White Sands, New Mexico.
