Never a day goes by Kim and I don't share stories about him. A "seer" friend of Kim's claims she sees Parley at times with Tommie Girl, our late Yorkie, saying to tell us that all is well. Maybe, but nothing of his memory has faded, wherever he is.

I always thought Parley had "total recall", he never forgot anyone's name, or anything else he knew about them.

It's very hard for memories to fade of someone who has made such an impression on you. ~frank

Parley knew everyone from the big movie moguls and top stars,through the ranks of the character actors, legit stage performers--those on and off-stage, all the circus folk in his lifetime, right on to the greenest boy on Big Top or Props. A raconteur of the first rank, he could regale you with fascinating stories about every one of them. People were entranced by his stories even when they didn't know who he was talking about.
