Sheldon Parrish pictured here in the early 1990’s as Football Coach of Roosevelt High School “Beyond The Wishing Well” is the second project by author Sheldon Parrish. This project is the follow up to the project, ”One Square Mile” his first project released in August of 2009. The author states that where the preceding project was from an “Autobiographical perspective” this project is more reflections of town residents and people who grew up in Roosevelt, NY. The book goes further to point out the diversity in talents and professions which claim the “One Square Mile” as it roots and place of nurturing. Things are quickly changing in this hamlet of Roosevelt and it was very important to the author to complete these books for posterity.
