Nice story, but is it correct? Wikipedia says STL was first implemented by HP and later by the same authors at SGI.

STL started even earlier, obviously without using the name "STL", as a library of generic algorithms for the programming language Ada (David R. Musser & Alexander A. Stepanov, 1987).

Rumor is that STL stands for STepanov and (Meng) Lee.
