Nile Stanley VITA

In 1992 as president of the New Mexico State Council of the International Reading Association (NMIRA), Dr. Nile Stanley was bestowed with the nickname Nile Crocodile, the Reading Reptile by past president, Ann "Pink Flamingo" Tarleton. Nile immediately developed a fondness for the crocodile adage as it was a familiar reptile like the alligator. "The Gator," of course, is the mascot for the University of Florida, at Gainesville where Nile Stanley received his Ph.D.
