Edmund Stone grew up on an English farm. As a teenager he toured in Romeo & Juliet before moving to Scotland where he reviewed films for BBC Radio and Thompson Publications. Relocating to Los Angeles in 1980 he covered the Academy Awards and interviewed such entertainment personalities as Alfred Hitchcock and Mel Blanc. While in Hollywood he wrote or narrated more than 1,000 educational audio cassettes. A Beaverton resident since 1990, Edmund continues to voice commercials and emcee events. “I’m honored to be a part of KBPS 89.9 FM,” he admits. When not indulging his passion for classical music (can’t get enough), animals (two dogs and four cats) and gardening (he’s a vegetarian who grows his own food), Edmund is liaison officer and development director for a chimpanzee rescue center in Cameroon, West Africa. Together with Portland veterinarian Dr. Sheri Speede, he co-founded the sanctuary for orphaned chimpanzees in 1998. |
