I Didn't Come Here to Stay

From his earliest days in Winnipeg and throughout his varied and flamboyant career as a journalist and public relations manager, Ed Parker distinguished himself as a dynamic, creative, energetic innovator. These memoirs trace the eventful life of a man determined to face every challenge with a fresh idea. Readers will delight in his association with the world renowned Canadian geologist and 'mine finder', Dr Franc Joubin, and the colourful, unpredictable American mining promoter, Joseph H Hirshhorn. Ultimately the founder of the School of Journalism and Graphic Arts at Ryerson in Toronto, Ed Parker has left us a legacy of a life style characterised by boundless enthusiasm and the unmistakable 'Parker' flare.
