Parker by Peter Johnson

OK , I think I have it now. So when you were responding to a post about the Johnson book and specifically mentioning quote "the Johnson Research Materials" , you weren't really specifically talking about the Johnson materials, but rather continued grousing about you not being given access to the Parker gun records kept by the PGCA .

The so called "Black Hole of Curatorship" as relating to the PGCA is a figment of imagination and bears no resemblance to fact. You just haven't been given the access you want. Others, even including Muderlak, benefitted in legitimate research done by Mark Conrad for publication purposes. The Muderlak President Harrison gun article and the Hogan Czars gun articles come readily to mind. Those involved extensive PGCA records research. The PGCA shares their "stuff" all the time with legitimate writers and researchers who publish articles for the benefit of the Parker collecting community.

I think Peter Harris' statement is short and to the point. My statement is not short, but it is also to the point and I am sticking with it. Not too long ago, you replied to me with a similar statement, attempting to trap me into placing blame for the Black Hole on Mark Conrad. As I replied to you then, Mark Conrad has been nothing but extremely helpful to me for many years.
