Dennis Jones is retired vice admiral who grew up in Fairbury, Nebraska, and has the stories to prove it. Dennis wanted to publish his memoir, focusing on the lessons he had learned growing up in a landlocked small Midwestern town that subsequently influenced his thirty-seven-year career in the Navy, serving on and commanding submarines.
Parables from the Prairie: How an Admiral Was Trained on Dry Land was published as a 6 × 9 paperback and printed print-on-demand with a matte cover. At 432 pages, it is a solid book, complete with over 60 photos, many from the late 1950s.
