About 10 hours a big part of my formative years passed on, Ron Stone was a rock in our community as a kid - he took us through huricanes, gas shortages, the Iran Hostage Situation and made Texas history a part of our heritage.
At a time when there was only four stations on the TV, he was a fixture on Sunday afternoons right before the Disney hour.
May he rest in peace and thank you for many, many years of education and memories that will last a lifetime!
