Arthur Bracey joined the Parker-Gray faculty as a shop teacher. He and his wife Miriam opened Peoples Flower Shop (Alexandria) in 1948. That same year he also established Bracey’s Electric. Bracey selected Parker-Gray students and mentored them in his electrician’s apprenticeship program. He encouraged them to seek higher education, additional training and/or apprenticeships in the electrical trade or other related areas.
