was titled "Music From Apartment 8," a reference to his mother's home in Decatur. Dr. [John] Stone also wrote an essay, that ran in The Atlanta Journal-Constitution four years ago, about shielding his mother from reports of terrorism and war. She was 96 at the time and died last year, just shy of her 99th birthday.

Dr. Stone's anthology of literature and medicine, "On Doctoring: Stories, Poems, Essays," co-edited with Richard Reynolds, has been issued to first-year medical students for the past 17 years, according to the Emory spokeswoman.
