Notă biografică

Donald Burton Parkhurst, a true student of the world, maintains a wide range of interests and is a prolific reader, writer, and loves teaching. He studied theology, history and archaeology, and received his master's degree in history from California State University Hayward, California. While in the Middle East studying archaeology, he excavated a dig for field experience at Jericho with the University of Jerusalem and traveled widely from the Golan Heights to Eilat. While in Israel, he lived with a Jewish family becoming lifelong friends. While immersed in their culture and collecting artifacts, he collected material for a book on Mohammed. He experienced bomb blasts, encephalitis, meningitis and skin cancer. What more could a person want? This was followed by riding on top of a railroad car from Egypt (where he taught school near Cairo) crossing the Sahara into the Sudan as far south as Juba for research, nearly dying from dehydration.
In his earlier years he had served in the army during the Korean war. He worked as a hospital laboratory technologist. He became active as an artist and cartoonist, publishing his own material in various newspapers and collaborating with other cartoonists, such as Charles Schultz and Lyman Young. Don's weekly comic strip the "Yolk's on Us" which was especially a big hit. He published many political cartoons that kept up with current events.
He taught art, history and English at the high school and college level. Later "Parky" was instrumental in helping his late wife Marion Baumann-Parkhurst whom he lovingly referred to as Naber, publish her book on how she survived the German prison camps of WWII and found God (Searching Survivor and the Answer I Found, can be found on Amazon).
