Josephine Stone described as promising young journalist by The RTD Our very own Josephine Stone, who tragically passed away this weekend, was recently described as a young lady who "showed great promise as an aspiring journalist" in an article by The Richmond Times-Dispatch.
At age 23, Josie became the Managing Editor of Quail Bell Magazine. We knew her to be an enthusiastic storyteller, copyeditor, and curator of short fiction. Despite working another full-time job, Josie constantly pitched new story ideas and contributed many yarns of her own. She came up with the idea for our "Dead Stuff" feature and helped develop our advice column, "Sir Gearhart the Gentleman," to cite just two examples. Prior to joining The QB Crew, Josie had also worked for Virginia's Capital News Service, reported for The Society of Professional Journalists, and studied journalism for a summer semester in England. She graduated with honors from Virginia Commonwealth University in Richmond in May 2011. Josie earned degrees in Print Journalism and English. We miss you, Josie, and know that the world will be a dimmer place without your shining talent as a writer & editor--that's not to mention your friendship, either.

Rest in Peace, Josephine Stone. Dear fledglings,
We regret to inform you that our dear Managing Editor, Josephine Stone, was struck and killed by a valet driver on October 28, 2011 in Richmond, VA. Josie died from her injuries at VCU Medical Center very early this morning. She was a talented, vivacious, and kind young lady--only 23 years of age. Over the next several days, we intend to post photos and writings to commemorate our lovely Josie. Please bear with us during this painful and confusing time. Sincerely, The QB Crew The Breadcrumbs widget will appear here on the published site.
