Austin Hogans Passing

[Captain Bob]

Austin Hogan was the first PGCA member to remember my name and to share time and his knowledge about Parker lifters with me. When he became aware I had a background in photography and publishing he sought out and welcomed my participation in the redesign of Parker Pages. That he personally presented a PP contributor pin to me is a very special memory. If the BOD has not yet done so, I encourage them to invest Austin as an Editor Emeritus of Parker Pages and permanently present him as such on the masthead.

Heartfelt condolences to his family and legions of friends.

[Twice Shooter]

Is there any information available yet for those of us who want to send flowers or contributions to a named charity? Thanks, Tom

[Bill Mullins]

Austin will surely be missed by all that knew him personally as well as those fellow PGCA members that knew him only through the Parker Pages. His contributions will forever be etched in the minds of his fellow Parker collectors, shooters, and writers. For sure Austin is in "Parker Heaven" and will be looking over us and his family.
Austin, we will miss you my friend! Our prayers and thoughts will be with Pam, your daughter, son, and extended family.

Bill

Bob, we have done just exactly that beginning with the Summer 2012 Issue of Parker Pages. Thank you for asking us to do it none-the-less.
