Parker considered what happened at the funeral, the years of speculation about what
happened that night on the river, and his health. He eventually agreed.
"I felt like everyone deserved an explanation," Parker said. "Everyone has an expiration date

"I've had some near-death experiences and I'm in bad health. I just wanted to do it."
For Parker, the book is likely a weight lifted off his shoulders. For friends, family and others
interested in his side of the story, it should be enlightening. However, Parker said there are
some questions that may never be answered.
"I catch myself going fishing at night and look up and wonder where they came from and how
far did they travel and why they had to get me."
Parker's book can be found at Amazon.com.
