Parker Pages Spring 2016 Issue

[Dean Romig]

The Spring Issue is being mailed today.





.

[Rick Losey]

thanks Dean

spring??
did you include sunshine and mayfly hatches in the package?

[Dean Romig]

Not yet my friends. It's still winter here in New England... but the sap's running and the signs are good.

[George M. Purtill]

And before you know it we'll be shooting at Dave Suponski's fun shoot at Addieville. I can't wait.

[Bill Murphy]

As I posted when the last PP was mailed, "Where in the heck is my issue? Here it is, February 24, and I have not gotten my PP. Please explain." Thanks for your attention to my inquiry.

[Dean Romig]

Hi Bill.... PM sent.





.

[Dave Suponski]

Bill , I think they were waiting for your pictures.

[Bill Murphy]

You mean the PO can't deliver "next day"? What is this country coming to?

[Jean Swanson]

Recognize the house and barn, near East Andover, NH on Route 11

[Dean Romig]

You're exactly right Allan. It's a beautiful place in its simplicity.

Based on the present "so called" administration in the White House I would say it's going to the DOGS . :cuss:

[George M. Purtill]

Where the He-- is my PP?

[Dean Romig]

You can stop by here any time George and I'll give you your complimentary contributor's copies. :cheers:





.

[George M. Purtill]

Bring them to Addieville this morning. I am shooting with Mr. Pinsley. It looks to be a beautiful New England day.


HAS ANYONE GOTTEN THEIR PP YET???

[Jeff Kuss]

Mine came yesterday.

[George M. Purtill]

Well it makes sense that the moderators and directors get their copies first.....

[Jeff Kuss]

One of the perks! LOL

[Dean Romig]

Don't start... :knowbetter:



Once again - they all go to the post office on the same pallet.

[Gary Carmichael Sr]

Dean, Now you know it takes more than one week, after all they are either going pony express for local stuff or by stagecoach for the far outlanders, Gary

[Buddy Marson]

Geroge, maybe you should run for a directors position. Something to think about.
All the best,
Buddy

[Henry McRoberts]

Mine made it all the way up here to the UP of Michigan yesterday. Must have come by dog sled.

[Rick Losey]

Must have come by dog sled.


pulled by English Setters

[Eric Eis]

pulled by English Setters

I'm looking at my two English setters and no they have not delivered my PP both are culled up in the chairs :banghead: :)

[Rick Losey]

True enough

My setters would consider that menial labor, and beneath their station

The golden puppy however would deliver most of it to hand

[Mike Koneski]

Our Setters didn't deliver mine either. Indians must have ambushed the sled in NY??

[Mills Morrison]

Ours came today

[Tom Pellegrini]

I didn't receive my PP yet, but Tuesday afternoon I put ina request for a letter for a "GH" I just obtained, and the letter came today. Multi Kudos to Chuck Bishop again. I don't get treated this good at home.

[Robert Rambler]

The Pony Rider just headed back down the trail a few moments ago, inside the leather satchel he left was my Parker Pages. Looks to be a fine Sunday afternoon read when combined with a glass of Knob Creek Kentucky Bourbon. :)

[Rick Losey]

its here in upstate NY

Mike - you need an in- the Grandfathers would not stop mine.

[George M. Purtill]

Geroge, maybe you should run for a directors position. Something to think about.
All the best,
Buddy

Buddy- I have seen how much work Directors do. I will settle for slow delivery!!!

[George M. Purtill]

OK I will shut up- my wife just handed me mine along with 3 electric bills for the farm. She has no idea of the value of PP.

Anyway I ripped open the protective sleeve , skimmed it and have partially made my priority list.
Craig Larter you duck nut- I am reading about your Marsh first.
Then I'm gonna let Brian Dudley try and educate me.. good luck with that Brian.
Next a Chicken Coop Parker- just looking at the pictures made me inspired to finish two 10 gauge Parkers that are disassembled in my gun room.

God isn't the arrival of PP a blessed event?
Thanks to Dean-o.

[George M. Purtill]

Craig Larter- nice article. I like the touch of using the old poster and vintage photos.

[Bob Roberts]

My PP arrived yesterday and as an occasional contributor I vote it one of the best ever.

[George M. Purtill]

I agree Bob. It is a great issue with variety- history, technology, reminiscing and news. My ONLY complaint is that we need more color and that's not Dean's fault nor does he have any say. It's budget related.
I would gladly pay a little more in dues and have more color pictures.

[Jack Kuzepski]

Just got mine yesterday and only skimmed it. Haven't had much of a chance to do much else but am relishing the time that I can thoughtfully digest it. It does look good!

[charlie cleveland]

every body really done a fine job on all these stories as usual.i stayed up late reading these was hard to get up this morning when the clock went off...charlie

[Alfred Greeson]

Shooting Sportsman, Sporting Classics, Double Gun Journal, and others; all are good but no comparison to reading Parker Pages. If it was larger, I probably would have an even bigger problem with my obsession with Parkers on the home front. Just a great publication that is much enjoyed and appreciated. Thanks for a really excellent publication and for all who make it possible for us. Much appreciated.

[Dean Romig]

You're very kind Mr. Greeson. Thank You.

Well I think mine has been lost again by the post office, still no sign of it....Wonder which direction they sent it this time to travel a couple of hundred miles !

wouldn't you love to be able to track some things
I had something mailed from Maine to upstate NY with tracking once, I followed it across the mid-south - then to the western plains and eventually to California - where it sat

I called the shipper - they said they would send a replacement and recall the lost package


a week or so later - both packages arrived on the same day

:whistle:

[Thomas L. Benson Sr.]

I believe the stage coach that delivers my Parker Pages must have broke a axel but should be repaired and in my hands soon. Thomas

[Mike Franzen]

I just got back home yesterday and the PP was patiently waiting in the mailbox. I know it's been said before but it can't be said enough … Thank you Dean for all the time and effort you sacrifice for making it happen.

[Dean Romig]

Thanks Mike - but it's you authors and contributors who really make it the magazine that it is.

[Dave Noreen]

Made it to the Washington/Idaho border today. Beat the Remington Society Journal for once.

[Thomas L. Benson Sr.]

I got mine today so its a great day in Idaho. I have to scan it real quick before I take my wife out for dinner on her 67 birthday. Thomas

[charlie cleveland]

thomas tell your wife we all said HAPPY BIRTHDAY....charlie

[Marty Kohler]

Hasn't shown up yet...... Mailed 2/24 not here yet? wow.....Are some others still waiting for their Spring issue?

[Jack Kuzepski]

Could be the mail person hasn't finished reading it yet, it was a very good issue. Mine had taken a while to come in and that's what I guessed had happened.

Marty mine hasn't shown up either, and I live in Michigan :crying:

[Dean Romig]

Our publisher is located in Traverse City, Michigan.

Some 1,500 copies of Parker Pages were shipped to the U.S. Post Office on February 24 and mailed out from Traverse City on that date.
There is no good reason why even one member wouldn't have his copy by now, almost three weeks after it was mailed.
If you don't have yours yet, the problem lies with the USPS.

My recommendation is to give it another week or so and if Parker Pages still hasn't arrived at your mailbox you should contact James Hall and ask him to send you a copy. He doesn't have many extra copies but he receives some extras for just this purpose.






.

[Marty Kohler]

All is well with the world..... Parker Pages has arrived unblemished, here in Western New York.
Dean, To be clear absolutely no blame was intended toward you or anyone involved .....all of us know about snail mail......
Eric, I sincerely hope yours arrives soon as this edition appears to be a dandy!

[Dean Romig]

Not to worry, The thought never crossed my mind.
I just feel the need to explain how it all works every so often.

That is an absolutely awesome farm. Makes me home sick.
