Allan K. Perry was an American politician from Arizona. He served a single term in the Arizona State Senate during the 9th Arizona State Legislature, holding one of the two seats from Maricopa County.[1] Perry was born in 1898 in Wisconsin, and moved to Arizona in 1917. He graduated from the University of Arizona with a law degree and went to work with his partner, Charles Wolfe, in the firm of Wolfe and Perry in Tempe, Arizona. He moved to Phoenix and became a law partner in the firm of Kramner-Rocher-Perry in 1932.[2][3][4] Perry married Capitola Roach on July 25, 1922, in Phoenix, Arizona.[5] The couple had three children, Wallace, Allan R., and Yvonne.[6] In 1951 he wrote the novel, Winners Get Lost, which was well received by critics, both when it was initially released, and again upon its re-release in 1964.[3] His daughter, Yvonne, edited the manuscript for her father.[7] He served as Arizona's assistant attorney general under both John Sullivan and Joe Conway. He died on November 13, 1976, at St. Joseph's Hospital in Phoenix.[3]
