This site is not commercial, but when one our our own does something cool, we should note it.

James Bartlett Parry, an alumnus of John R. Rogers, is the slightly younger brother of Bob Parry, class of 1960. Jim is a retired Spokane middle school teacher. This month, Jim published a book about those years, Book All The Teachers!  Excep Parry (sic). Jim is a dry-humored guy who can be hilarious*. The book is available from his publisher, Gray Dog Press. Please click the link to see the compelling blurb (I don't have Gray Dog's permission to paste it here).  I am ordering a copy.  I would guess locals may be able to find it in in Spokane's Auntie's Bookstore also.

* In the late 50's I asked what happened to a bush at Jim's house. Jim dead-panned: "Father pruned it."  I once noticed that Jim and Bob's father, nicknamed Parry, was really getting angry at a rototiller that wouldn't start. Jim pointed proudly at Parry: "That's my father."
