Paula Nesselson Stone

I have had several of my songs recorded by major artists.
You can look below at the Sergio Mendes album entitled "STILLNES"
I wrote the title song, as well as the single, released in Japan
called "DON'T LET GO"

I also wrote for Richie Havens (from Woodstock) on the
PORTFOLIO album with the single I DON'T NEED NOBODY
and wrote lyrics for many Brazilian composers recording on
A&M RECORDS -- being produced by Sergio Mendes.

You can Google my name & find more info on my career (Paula Stone)...

I also conducted several interviews published by Integral Yoga Magazine.
(find them on Google under the name Ratna Stone)

I'm still tutoring REMEDIAL READING, FRENCH & SPANISH
in my spare time and to enrich my life.
by attending musical concerts of many genres.

I remember writing for the magazine published for the AP ENGLISH CLASSES
by students of Miss Lindner. I wrote several poems that were included
as well as a short story.

Also, Mr. Swift was a highly gifted educator andentertainer! His Scottish accent and flair for drama made our classes so much more interesting. I was amazed to find his restaurant review program on PBS in Detroit when I came back here to care for my Mom 10 years ago.

I was in A.P. English at Mumford. I learned an amazing amount about the mechanics of our language. I also studied with MISS LINDNER, from England, who encouraged us to love the classics, including Beowulf. She also published a creative arts journal with stories and poems by her students & I was included in several issues. This experience strengthened my desire to pursue a career as a writer.

I also sang in one of the school plays...Denny & the Pirates ...

Mumford memories are not that vivid because
I was so busy working after school @
MURRY KOBLIN'S ART STUDIO (on Wyoming)
& going to United Hebrew High School & Adat Shalom Sunday School...
that most memories of Mumford were
visiting at the lockers...LOL...it always seemed very loud & hectic.

I loved typing class bec. "Joe" (with his brush-cut) would play Motown music and walk up & down the rows singing along & swinging to Martha & The Vandellas & other hip tunes while
we were typing. He played little 45's on a "record player" on his desk...

At Graduation in June I received the award for the
FASTEST SHORTHAND SPEED OF 160 WORDS PER MINUTE

And that is really FAST@!
I still use shorthand when conducting interviews or taking notes
at classes.
