Although his first love had always been writing, he had never pursued his interest in the field until after retiring from a career in the life insurance industry where he had won several sales awards, achieved both the CLU and LUTCF designations, and ascended to the level of President-Elect of the Kentucky Association of Insurance and Financial Advisors. Having retired from the business, he now teaches writing classes at the Ashland Community and Technical College.
With a hobby in photography, he has included dozens of photographs in this book that he either took himself or rescued from the pile of faded and crumpled pictures that his mother had stored away in shoeboxes. Adept at using Photoshop CS3, he has brought many of the old photos to life, restoring their luster and brilliance to their original status.
In his spare time, when he is not golfing or dabbling in photography, he is reconnecting with old friends and family members who provide him with a storehouse full of tales and anecdotes related to his ancestors and other predecessors. In Kinfolk, he has attempted to compile some of the more memorable, important, humorous and touching stories of his family, making it a volume his quite extensive family will surely cherish.
Parley Bryan and his wife Joan celebrated their fortieth anniversary in 2010. They are the parents of two lovely daughters, Kimberly and Sara.показать меньше
