As the Title Line says: Anyone Remember Jack Turner from Grand Prairie TX from about 45 Years Ago?
I'm cleaning out some of my stuff and found several letters from Jack. They're dated 1980 and 1981.
He said he has owned all grades of Parker's from Trojan to A1Special in most gauges. I asked him about a nice Parker I had at the time, an AAHE16 with damascus barrels. Some called it the Terrell gun that had "TERRELL" in the damascus pattern on both barrels breech to muzzle.
He did recall something written up about a gun just like that but could not recall any details.
His last letter dated "6 - 15 - 81" saying 1980 was a disaster for him. That was the last I heard from him.
His address was 101 Byrdway Street Grand Prairie TX 75051. I Google Mapped that address. I'm sure it wasn't that way in 1981.
It was a real pleasure writing back and forth with Jack back then. Known for his "Lovely Doubles".
So, anyone remember Jack Turner? Thanks.
