Edgar, it was definitely the Vintagers event at Addieville but it was my gun at the time.
The gun passed from you to Tom Carter, (then to Dave Dwyer, then to Tom or Dave and ultimately to me at Pintail Point all in that one Southern event) and it was sent to me a week or two later. Then at the following Vintagers at Addieville I shot it with Dave "Stosh" on those looong targets. We had a small audience... maybe four people.

Did I ever thank you for selling it?
If Not, Thanks very much my Friend!!

I find a certification letter comforting even if it revels only that a 150 year old Parker is still in the same configuration as she was when she left the factory. Sometimes the letter reveals a tortured past, but someone cared enough to send her back to the maker to get her right. Reminds me of God and His people.

That would be wonderful and that is one of two goals, the other is that he be able to continue playing college lacrosse which is something he has loved since he could pick up a lacrosse stick when he was about 5.
