Trail of blood leads to former Kato mayor Christ
by Tim Krohn, Mankato Free Press
MANKATO— Mankato's famed disappearing mayor, Stan Christ, is alive and presumably well in Springfield, Mo., albeit still unreachable.
Christ (pronounced Krist) remains one of Mankato's most fascinating characters. His lineage runs rich and deep in the community. Stan's father died in 1965 while serving as police chief. Stan was a vaunted local sports hero, fire chief, longtime City Council member in the '80s, mayor, and lightning rod during the DM&E Railroad debate.
When he left town -- and his mayor's job -- in the middle of the night more than seven years ago, he made national news.
The rest is

That was a great article by Tim Krohn. I met Stan Christ when I lived in Mankato from 1992 to 1995. He was always very engaging and generally happy. I never got a sense that it was 'his way or the highway'. But, maybe that was why he left. No one knows for sure. I am glad he's alive and well and still doing civic work as he sees fit. He did a lot of good for Mankato and his legacy endures to this day for sure.
