  • 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.

Rogers died in 1935 with Post when their small airplane crashed on takeoff from a lagoon near Utqiaġvik (formerly Barrow), Alaska, in northern Alaska. Many feel that not only a valuable life was lost at a young age but that we could use another Will Rogers today.
