Yes, Remington. Daryl, the only other person I have met who knew Willie well, or at all, was my late PGCA friend and neighbor Terry Boose. We used to have a great time telling Willie stories to each other. Terry's Dad was a friend of Willie's. I guess Jerry Smith knew Willie too. Terry and I happened to be cruising a Maryland show a few years ago when we came upon the famous Eckmeyer A-1 Special 28 gauge (not Mr. Cordell's gun). I think the gun pictured on this forum a few days ago is that very gun, (not Mr. Cordell's gun). Terry and I tried to talk each other into buying the gun, but somehow did not do it. I have known Willie since I was a little kid, like Terry did. When I returned from military service in 1969, Willie offered me a job at the International Harvester distributorship. Boy, would I have some stories if I took that job. I think you know what I mean. I remember a visit to Willie's house in Howard County one weekend. This visit was unusual because another Parker person was with me, but I just can't remember who it was. I think Willie spent more time at National Capital Skeet Club than he did at his own club.
