Mentor Recalled as an Award Is Given
Mr. Stone, a dynamic educational presence who was revered at Weequahic and credited with turning the school around, died of a heart attack on Nov. 4, a Sunday; he had celebrated his 57th birthday the day before. Ms. Prophete spoke about her mentor when she accepted a medal and $500 award last week from Pathways to College, an organization based in Englewood that helps college-bound minority students.
