He was born in the Philippines in 1937 and left there after five months under Japanese house arrest. The whole family was allowed to leave the country under diplomatic exchange status. After the war, Peter returned to Manila and continued schooling there until he left in 1953 to attend Phillips Academy, Andover. Further schooling included a year as an English Speaking Union scholar at Sherborne School, England; followed by a BA at Yale, where he was chairman of the Yale LIT and a Scholar of the House. A fifth year there was devoted to teaching freshmen under the Carnegie Teaching Fellowship program. He taught for another year, then joined a small group of weekly newspapers in southern California (Riverside), where he spent 30 years, finally developing the company into a large commercial printing firm. After selling the company in 1990, Parsons got his MA in writing at University of Nevada, Las Vegas. He has a number of short stories and articles published in various magazines. He now lives in Spain and the Philippines with his wife Antonia Morales, and devotes most of his time to researching WWII history in the latter country. He has spent the last ten years researching and interviewing all over the world regarding the video documentary on his father, Secret War in the Pacific. Much of this work was done with his original partner in the project, Morgan Cavett (Moon River Productions), but Cavett died in late 2004 with the documentary as yet unfinished. To help finish the video, John Anderson (Information Programs) and Lucky Guillermo (InterFormat AV Manila) came on board. This is Parsons’ first venture into this genre. He plans several more.
