Harold LaVerne Parr was born in Spokane, Washington in the year 1910. He was the youngest student to graduate from Hillyard or Rogers High School in 1925 at the age of 15 years old.
He attended Gonzaga University in Spokane, Washington and graduated with a Bachelor of Philosophy degree on Tuesday Evening, June 10, 1930 at the Forty-Third Annual Commencement.
Harold Parr became a sports writer for Transradio Press Service. He was witness to some of the greatest moments in sports. He reported on the Subway Series of the late 40's between the Yankee's and Brooklyn Dodgers. Added are his press passes for the 1949 series giving him access to the Clubhouse and the fields at Ebbets and Yankee Stadium. He also freelanced and his bi-line was picked up by the Rochester Evening News (see photos).
He retired to Tallahassee, Florida in the early 50's where he passed away in October of 1969. His widow Catherine A. Parr is buried with him.
He lived a full and happy life as evidenced by the few memories he kept and which I was fortunate to find being sold by a vendor at the local flea market in 1998.
