PROGRAM FRED PERRY  KFRU- PARRY PUBLISHING After working with Gannett, Fred decided to be a little more lucrative and began Parry Publishing, a subsidiary of Premier Marketing.  He successful endeavor has brought him many hours of fame with Simon Rose, on KFRU.  In addition to his radio experience, we can celebrate the 10th anniversary of the Columbia Business Times. 
   Fred's handle on the news has given us the right perspective on many topics.  Currently, we are watching the developments of Hinkson Creek and it's removal from the endangered streams list; American Airlines in, or out, of St. Louis and it's effect on Columbia Regional Airport. Of course we are watching the Elson Floyd story as well as the NCAA violations.  Speaking of MU, there is a $190 Million bond issue to look at. What is happening with State Farm??? Stay tuned to KFRU and watch the Columbia Business Times for further breaking information.
