However, Mr. Stone decided to return to his love of music and voice. He says that learning to sing was the greatest challenge in his career. Working as a professional opera singer was very stressful, but he said he was very fortunate to be able to wor"k steadily over a long period of time. Even with the success Mr. Stone has experienced all over the United States and abroad, he says the most gratifying experience has been coming home and having an endowment established in his name. Mr. Stone is just one testimony to the influence of music teacher Mr. George Trautwein. Mr. Trautwein has taught a wide range of students, from the middle school level up to the adult and professional level. He came to Goldsboro in 1956, where he taught at both Goldsboro High School and Goldsboro Junior High School until 1969. Aside from teaching classes, Mr. Trautwein conducted a number of choirs, advised clubs, directed aimual musical productions and directed Christmas cantatas. After teaching at Goldsboro, he became the music director of Wayne Community College for three years, until his career led him to New York. In New York he taught at Ha^ngs-on- Hudson briefly, before settling William Stone performs in “Lucia di Lammermour.” down for a 20-year stay at Blind Brook Middle and High Schools in Connecticut, often touring with choirs on the East coast and in Europe. During retirement, Mr. Trautwein has been splitting his time between New York, Florida and England. In New York he has been involved in Irvington Town Hall Theater. In Sarasota, Fla., he works cataloging recordings in the Sarasota Music Hall, and in England he simply enjoys the culture. Mr. Kannan recognizes Mr. Trautwein as having a very successful gala event, which included a group of approximately 100 past students performing as a mixed chorus.

Walk of Fame. Mr. Grant has become one of Hollywood’s strongest advocates and has done a tremendous amount of humanitarian work for countless charities. He was given the honorary mayor title for his work with revitalizing the city of Hollywood, and his name can be seen on Hollywood Boulevard. Mr. Grant got his start on radio, right here in Goldsboro. His first love was radio, and he was credited with doing the first live broadcast outside of a courtroom. He has also served in the Happy Birthday to Grandmom’s Httle angel Air Force and, afterwards, supported troops with frequent trips overseas. Ms. Jeffreys is known for her work in many of the Western and crime movies of the 1940s. She played opposite Frank Sinatra in 1944’s “Step Lively” and in “Dick Tracy” as Tess Trueheart. Ms. Jeffreys also appeared on stage, starring in “Tosca” at the Brooklyn Opera House and the Broadway musical “My Romance.” She has worked on television series, such as “Topper” (1953). Some of her more recent television roles have been on “Baywatch” and “General Hospital.” In an interview with the Campus Voice, Ms. Jeffreys said everyone has a star on Hollywood Boulevard but not at the college. There are just two so far. She said she has kept connections with Goldsboro because she has two cousins in town and enj oys coming back to the memories of her childhood and her grandparents. She and her cousins recently took a cruise to Australia together. Ms. Jeffreys provided words of wisdom encouraging people jto do anything they can do to forward their ambitions. She did this in her career by never turning down a role. In the future, moviegoers will be able to see Ms. Jeffreys in the film, “Richard the III,” in which she plays the Duchess of York.
