State Assemblyman Stan T. Pelecky was born in Milwaukee, Wisconsin on April 27, 1934. He was educated at Washington High School and the University of Wisconsin, receiving a B.S. degree in physics and mathematics in 1956. He also attended Marquette University's Law School and while a senior there was called to active duty with the 32nd Infantry Division Artillery of the U.S. Army. Prior to that call, he had served an enlistment in the Army Signal Corps, where he was trial counsel on a special court-martial. In addition, he has been home secretary to U.S. Representative Henry Reuss, editor of a weekly newspaper, and a mathematician-physicist on a guided missile program. In Milwaukee he was a member of the 9th Ward Citizens' League, serving as its president during 1957-58. He was a candidate for the State Senate in 1958 and the Assembly in 1960. In 1962 he was elected a member of the Assembly from Milwaukee 1st District and while there, served on the State Affairs Committee. (Source: 1964 Wisconsin Blue Book)
