PARSONS- Carol Landrum Parsons, 78, passed away July 2, 2009. Quinn-Shalz, A Family Funeral Home & Cremation Centre.
Published in the Florida Times-Union on 7/9/2009

Cornelius Joseph "Neal" Ganzel Sr. Neal was born in Quincy, Mass. in March of 1924. He died May 3l, 2009 at his home in Vilano Beach, Fla. Neal's father was a professional baseball player, and his career carried the family from Minneapolis to St. Louis to Selma, Ala., to Sarasota and finally to Atlantic Beach (shortly before the outbreak of WW11). While attending Fletcher, he helped carry the FHS football squad (as a starting end)to several victories in the 1941-42 season. Following Pearl Harbor, he left Fletcher and enlisted in the US Naval Air Force and was sent to the Pacific in 1944 as a mechanic/gunner. He saw combat as a waist gunner on a PB4Y2 patrol bomber in the Phillipines. After the war's end, he returned to Florida, finished high school and entered Stetson University where he studied engineering while honing his skills on the baseball and football fields. He then transferred to the University of Florida. Neal married his Atlantic Beach neighbor and pre-war sweetheart Elizabeth Hooker in 1948. Needing to provide for his new and growing family, he left UF and found work in Jacksonville with the Strachan Shipping Company in 1950; he worked there until 1986, eventually becoming terminal superintendent of Strachan's operations at both Commodore's Point and the JAXPORT terminals. On the docks he was known as a profoundly competent problem-solver, and to the longshoremen as a fair-minded and decent stevedoring superintendent. Elizabeth and Neal built their first home in North (Vilano) Beach on the ocean. In 1985 they relocated to a marsh-front property on Palm Street. Both of these North Beach homes were designed, executed and decorated by he and his wife, and showcased his talents in carpentry and woodworking. He continued to love and use these skills during retirement, and eventually became an accomplished wood-turner, specializing in native Florida woods. Neal continued fishing well into his final years, and knew well the rivers and creeks of the St. John's and Duval County waterways, and helped impart a love of the outdoors to his children and grandchildren. A talented gardener and cook, he and Elizabeth were also eager travelers and enjoyed frequent trips to Appalachia, the Florida Keys and elsewhere during their retirement years. In the early 70s, Neal earned his civilian pilot's license, enjoying again a skill he had first learned during the war. After Elizabeth's death in 2000, Neal continued to live a full, active andindependent life for nine more years. Neal was predeceased by his brother, Foster Jr. He is survived by his son Neal, Jr. and wife Suzanne of Ormond Beach, daughter Shea Vlcek of Jacksonville, and daughter Cathleen Litvinas of Palmyra, Va., his sisters, Yvonne Martin of Melbourne and Mickey McCormick of St. Augustine, brother Owen of Jacksonville, several nieces and nephews and numerous friends. Neal will be remembered for his generosity, his honesty and reliability, his depth of feeling, his sense of humor, his craftsmanship, and for the intensity of his presence in the lives of everyone who knew him.

Ralph Sistrunk, The Jury's Back

Class of '58

Angel Valley is no place for angels. The town leader is a sociopath with a taste for rape and scripture. The town's sheriff has been shot by the deputy and the married minister has fallen in love with the school marm. The only person desperate to get to Angel Valley is the town playboy and drunk; brutally beaten and left for dead in the desert. On Camel's trek home, he truly enters hell with a group of desperate Indians, bitter Calvary and vicious renegades.

Nath Doughtie, Class of '55, has just published a good novel set in Gainesville, Florida, home of the champion Gators of the University of Florida. Doughtie, a retired judge from Gainesville, wrote about a judge and lawyers and love and tribulation in Gainesville (well, it includes other places in Florida). Anyone familiar with northeast Florida will enjoy it. Shucks, even if you don't have any experience with Alachua County, you'll find it a good read. At $14.31 a copy from Amazon.com, this 306 page novel published by Trafford Publishing on May 14, 2007 is a virtual steal! Click the title, All Rise , and order your copy from Amazon.com!

Blue Texas

W. D. West, Blue Texas

G. W. Reynolds, III. Jetty Man series. See YouTube preview of Jetty Man

What books about Northeast Florida do you like? Perhaps the book only uses part of the area as a setting.

John Grisham, The Brethren uses Atlantic Beach and Neptune Beach.

Larry Baker, The Flamingo Rising purports to take place on the shore between Ponte Vedra and St. Augustine. The characters go often to St. Augustine and Jacksonville.

Amelia Clinch, Murder in Fernandina was written by a writers' group in Fernandina. Not bad and has a lot of local history included.

David Tuttle, The Leopard of Fenandina (A Lt. Wilson Mystery) uses information from the earlier book (Tuttle was one of the writers' group). It's a much better read.

A serial killer is on the loose in La La Land, but you may die laughing before the next victim is found.

Dan Anderson - Class of 1963

Chauncey McFadden, a portly and low-rent PI, may be in over his head when he is hired to find a murderer who kills female victims in a most unusual way. The trail of this serial killer leads through a cast of zany and memorable characters that includes a quirky police lieutenant, a crime syndicate boss, a secret government intelligence agency, and an international consortium of terrorists. The body count climbs as Chauncey battles danger and intrigue to bring the killer to justice.

Bad Vibrations is an unforgettable romp through the seamy noir underbelly of Southern California, and shows how much fun reading can be in the hands of an irreverent craftsman. It is already the winner of 5 literary awards:

The Independent Publishers IPPY Award—Silver Medal for Best Regional Fiction 2009
The Florida Writers Association Royal Palm Award for Best Published Mystery 2008
The Books and Authors Best Mystery Book of the Year Award 2008
The Rockway Press Best Novel Prize in their International Writing Competition 2006
The Florida Writers Association Lighthouse Book Award in their mystery-suspense category 2008
