CZAR NICHOLAS II GUN No.2 ON DISPLAY

[Jim Thynne]

Mr. Charlie is not only a class guy, as an older member I saw the Parker Gun Collectors organization grow from a fledgling group of collectors, the first of it's kind, to grow to a organization that has been used as a format for other clubs.
The people that have devoted the time and energy to make this grow need not be named, they know who they are. However Mr. Charlie was instrumental in the progress of PGCA.
We have lost many of my friends that helped make this organization grow, but as long as we have the principal leadership that has evolved as members retire from office, to new officers, the Parker mystique will endure, and PGCA will continue.
This will be a beacon to show the way a group of collectors can hold an idea together by lovers of any collectible, if the leadership is there, and the passion is more important than self. My tribute to a great fellow and a passionate Parker collector.

All true Jim. But as time marches on we need younger guys and gals to get more deeply involved. The core officers and directors are aging... We need people to step up and do some of the "heavy lifting" and get involved in the operation of this organization or it will begin to dwindle by attrition.

Mills Morrison's jumping right into the thick of it is a prime example of what we like to see.

Mills and those who helped him did an outstanding job. Even with the heavy downpour Friday afternoon, everything was on schedule. Pictures to follow shortly.
