    Meet Stone

    I am often asked about my name, so let me begin there.  My parents named me Stone Stockton Phillips.  An avalanche of nicknames has followed ever since:   rock, pebble, stoney, stone man, and the recently coined (by Al Roker) stonelator.  It could have been worse.  There are three generations of men in my family with the middle name Duzerah.   We still haven’t figured that one out.

    I was born in Texas City, Texas.  My parents, both natives of Texas, moved there a few years after the 1947 industrial explosion that put Texas City on the map.  Barefoot summers, backyard baseball, bike riding, tree climbing, catching “crawdads” and “horn toads” in the drainage ditch, flat top haircuts, piano lessons,    Sundays at St. George’s Episcopal Church, Monopoly marathons with my brother and sister, trips to the beach in nearby Galvestonall wonderful memories to this day.  Though our home was damaged by Hurricane Carla in 1961, the storm never dampened our love for Texas City. 

    My family left the Lone Star state in 1965.  A job transfer for my father, a chemical engine
