Percy "PJ" James Pronger, III, March 9, 1954 — April 25, 2024. The HPPR Radio Readers Book Club is sad to hear of the passing of valued contributor P. J. Pronger of Amarillo. PJ's Radio Readers Book Bytes covered a biography of Edward R. Murrow, a person he admired as we admired P.J.’s participation in our book club. We will miss P.J’s voice and insights.

And I've tried to understand the differences between Rogers and today's comedians.
