Default I Got My New Parker Pages Today!

Today Mister Postman put my new Parker Pages in my mailbox as I watched from the window. I was in such a hurry to run out and get it I almost ran out of the house with no shoes on.

I've read most of it now and see some brand new authors and some great articles and good pictures illustrating them.
I don't hesitate for a second to say our editors, Mike and Susan, have done a superb piece of work on this, their inaugural issue.

Most of you don't have any idea what they have gone through in dealing with the USPS in getting US Form 3526-R and 3510 filled out and recorded with the proper postal authorities.... (the USPS didn't even know.... but that's another story.) Suffice to say that Mike and Susan have really shown us what they're made of in taking the challenge and seeing it through to fruition. What a great job they've done and what a great issue of Parker Pages we have!!

Thanks a bunch Dean. We are truly happy and humbled that “The Godfather” gave his heartfelt approval!! To quote Wayne’s World, “We’re not worthy...”

BTW, in case the readers missed it, beginning with the next issue (Summer 2020) Parker Pages will be printed with all full color pictures!! Woot-Woot!!

The fact that you were able to accomplish something I wasn’t able to accomplish in all my years at the helm (that of a 48 page full-color magazine) isn’t simply a feather in your caps but is more aptly a fantastic plume in your caps.

And BTW, you definitely ARE WORTHY!!

Great work Mike and Sam! And Sam, keep a tight rein on Mike. Please don't let him put paronomasia in the Parker Pages.

Maybe that's why they are late getting to Virginia. It is not the free world anymore under Mein Fuhrer Northam. They have to intercept them and add your name to the Gestapo's list.
