Gwyn Parry (born David Druschel in Wellsville, NY) is Welsh, German, American, and something else or other.  His grandfather John Henry Hughes Parry was born in Holyhead, Anglesey, Wales.  His paternal grandfather, William Druschel, escaped a family tragedy of disease and despair in Brooklyn:  saved when sent upstate to the Bristol Hills above Canandaigua Lake, a blessed and beautiful place to which GP returned in 2007 upon being suddenly widowed.

"The breeze, the girl... no talk of a fortune that might or might not be. She's looking at you, mate, not at it. Which makes her, for good and for keeping, your fortune that is." -- From THE CHESTERFIELD HOURS.
