I have gotten a tip that the late Irving I. Stone who was the son of Jacob Sapirstien of Cleveland, founder of American Greetings is somewhat family affiliated (Dont know either by marriage or through his mother) to Rabbi Schonbrun.
Stone is famous in philantrophy, the Stone Edition of the Artscroll Chumash is dedictaed to his memory, and the Telshe-Stone Village in the outskirts of Jeruslem is also connected to him.
Does anyone know the connection between the two families?
