As per his education, Stone attended Parkway West High School in his hometown, where he was an honor student as well as a quarterback on his school’s football team. Upon matriculating in 1973, he enrolled at Yale University and continued his streak of excellence in both mental and physical campus activities. In fact, he was the starting quarterback for the Yale Bulldogs team that won the Ivy League football championship in 1976. He was also a member of Yale’s secret society, called “Scroll and Key.” Additionally, he earned the F.
