We do have an alternative to a bricks & mortar museum. A Parker film documentary on the history of PB, the factory, people and grades would be relatively inexpensive to produce. No travel required and it would reach a broader audience. Much of the material has already been researched, collected and published. I'll bet the membership has even more to contribute too.
Wouldn't it be terrific to watch a PB historical documentary and learn about the manufacturing process along with photos and maybe even some early film footage? What a great way to educate folks about Parker and preserve a proud piece of American gun manufacturing |

Thanks Garth - those are precisely my thoughts and have been for several years.
Another thing I have suggested to certain "low membership number" members is to record the history of the PGCA through each of their recollections... I mean each and every detail (good or bad) that they each can remember and record it all for posterity. Once these guys are no longer with us the PGCA's history becomes little more than "somebody once said." There is a lot of valuable history in these guy's memories - things that were never written in The Parker Story - or any other Parker books for that matter. .

Get busy. I can't believe the number of Parker experts and historians are DED, yes, dee ee dee DED. Very few of them left anything in writing. I saved Herschel Chaddick ads for years and finally trashed them. They were a true piece of history that should have been preserved.
