About By Gone Days Press
Dorothy Dobson-Stone 
Although formally trained as an RN early in her life, Dorothy Dobson left Nursing and spent twenty years in an Entertainment Advertising Agency with her former husband (now deceased). She eventually returned to college and obtained a BS in Health Care Administration. This led her to a new career in Clinical Research. At first she coordinated Cardiology protocols and later focused on monitoring Oncology Pharmaceutical Research Protocols, traveling throughout the U.S. until her "semi-retirement" in 1999. She still acts as a consultant in that industry on a part time basis. Dorothy now is into more creative pursuits, channeling her computer research skills, as well as Marketing and PR knowledge, for the Stone couple's joint literary efforts and their corporate entity, Bygone Days Press. She is also President of Dual Dimensions, Inc., the parent company that they formed in 1999. Dorothy has authored two children's books, which are being illustrated by her business and marriage partner, Hal Stone. She has developed an avid interest in Genealogy research and is writing a family history for her children and grandchildren. On a personal note, Dorothy is the mother of three grown "children". Two daughters have become business entrepreneurs and her son Jim "followed in the family footsteps" in Public Relations. There is one beautiful granddaughter.
Hal (Harlan) Stone 
Hal enjoyed a career in the entertainment industry that spanned nearly fifty years. He started as a three year-old child model and at age eight began acting on the Broadway stage--appearing in many Theatre Productions of the early 1940's. He also appeared on numerous Network Radio programs for about fifteen years, and is fondly remembered by old time radio fans for his nine years as co-star on the "Adventures of Archie Andrews" program in the role of "Jughead". Some early live TV appearances followed his "radio days", and upon his discharge from the Air Force after the Korean War, Hal obtained a degree in Speech/Drama from Hofstra University with advanced study of Television Production at Columbia University. Ultimately he became a television producer-director for some twenty-five years, culminating that career by establishing and serving as Board Chairman of Centrex Productions, Inc., a major New York based television and videotape Production Company. After retiring from TV production in 1980, Hal has focused on numerous other creative activities, encompassing a variety of art forms. An established painter and sculptor, Hal is also a published writer. His first book, Relax, Archie...Re-Laxxx, is a memoir about his early, varied career in the entertainment industry. His second book (in progress) covers his quarter-century "zany" experiences as a television director. His new corporate identity is as a principal in Dual Dimensions, Inc. and Bygone Days Press. On a personal note, Hal is married to Dorothy Dobson-Stone. He is the father of two grown children from a former marriage and has three grandchildren.
