He's a documentary filmmaker who helped establish public access TV in the seventies. His latest movie is about Sing-Sing prison. He was also a professor at NYU until he was forced into mandatory retirement about twenty years ago at age 70. But they still let him teach a couple classes a year, he makes movies and he takes classes, too, in his spare time. Now, if you've done the math, you'll have already figured out that George Stoney is 90. He was born BEFORE World War One. And he's still out there working and learning.
