Hardcover. 143 p. Illustrations. From the reminiscences of Eugenia Rodick. From Wikipedia: "Jack Perkins spent 30 years in television and inn1986 moved to Bar Island in1986. Jack Perkins (born December 28, 1933, in Cleveland, Ohio) is an American reporter, commentator, war correspondent, and anchorman. He has been dubbed "America's most literate correspondent" by the Associated Press. Perkins received a Bachelor of Arts degree in political science from Case Western Reserve University in 1956. While at Case Western Reserve, Perkins joined the Fraternity of Phi Gamma Delta. Jack Perkins has appeared on NBC Nightly News and The Today Show, and on A&E as host of Biography. He currently hosts A Gulf Coast Journal, a weekly magazine show which airs on Tampa, Florida PBS member station WEDU-TV. He also hosts and narrates special programs on Chattanooga, Tennessee PBS member station WTCI-TV. Perkins was formerly a news reporter for NBC affiliate KNBC, in Los Angeles, California. Currently, Perkins devotes a great deal of his time to creating original photography and poetry which he brings together in books, the most recent being Island Prayers: Photographs and Poems of Praise. Perkins's son, Eric Perkins, has followed his father into journalism, serving as Sports Director at KARE-TV, the NBC affiliate station in Minneapolis-St. Paul, Minnesota. Perkins and his Biography introductions have been parodied several times on Mystery Science Theater 3000, with Perkins portrayed by Michael J. Nelson as a somewhat scatter-brained man prone to long, meandering, name-dropping rambles about nothing in particular, and, on syndicated versions of MST3K, dubbed The Mystery Science Theater Hour, the character introduced the films. Perkins has declared himself a fan of the show and his parody on it, even participating in an online drive to save the program during its first cancellation." Perkins was similarly spoofed on Saturday Night Live by Darrell Hammond, who played Perkins as a sarcastic alcoholic while hosting Biography. Very good in good dust jacket. Signed by author. Cover has some wear and soiling. Reprint. First edition stated. Apparently a second printing. Perkins, Mary Jo (illustrator).…
