Before I venture into my first of hopefully many trivia blogs, it is important to me that I call out what brought me to the name of this blog. It was named after Gale Parcel a wonderful husband, son, brother, father, and friend who had an inquisitive nature and was loved by everyone who knew him and left us way too soon. Here’s to you Gale.
