"Ed" Parsons, as he liked to be called in Alaska, was known as the Great White Father of Communication for very good reasons: He created what one day would be the largest industrial giants of our time. He was the Father of the first documented paying cable television industry as we know it today. He was a Father figure to many of the Eskimos of northern Alaska. He often came and went to Washington D.C. to conduct business as he brought northern Alaska's communication into the 20th century.
