Greetings Everyone,

January 15 is the deadline for the submission of material for the Spring 2013 issue of Parker Pages.

We are always in need of technical articles and we don't have any yet for this issue. Stories of Parker collecting or Parkers in the field or at shoots are equally in short supply so please keep them coming as well.

Please remember to send high-resolution photos to accompany your articles. Pictures from your cell phones simply will not work bucause they are taken in a small format and when we attempt to expand the image for publication these pictures lose resolution - become grainy or blurred.

Once again, your story or article should be written in Microsoft Word and sent to me as an attachment in an email to dsromig@aol.com

If you have any questions or problems please give me a call at 978-621-9338.

I know there is a lot of writing talent out there so please contribute something to Parker Pages.

Best, Dean

I am working on finishing up about an 8-10 page writing that is historical/ technical in nature. But do not know if I will have it to you by 1/15. We will see...

I hope I get my winter issue by January 15th. I ordered a new charger for my Camera from Hong Kong on Wednesday, and it was here yesterday.

USPS gets it right sometimes. Sometimes they don't.
I mailed Priority packages to my kids in Myrtle Beach SC and Clearwater FL last tuesday. Tracking says the Myrtle beach package is still in Florencce SC today. No tracking info provided for the one to FL. So much for "3 Days Or Less". Next year, I'll tell them to go to Hong Kong to pick up their presents.

Parker Pages justs arrived in south central Pennsylvania by way of the afternoon post. Looks like some good reading from the comfort of my recliner Christmas day.
Thanks to everyone who invested their time and labor to bring it to us.:bowdown::bowdown::)

My whining about the delay was too much (hehe, who says I didn''t learn anything raising 3 kids) for Mr. Purtill to bear, so he got in the car and drove a copy over to me. I now understand why he wanted me to read it before Christmas. I didn't see him put the case under my tree, but I'm sure he is giving it to me as a thank you for being the only person North and East Of Madison Ave. who can put up with him.
Seriously though, I've seen the gun and it really is a time capsule. When he first opened the case I believe I sucked in air, just to keep from getting dizzy. Then he told me the whole story (without all the bells & whistle in the PP article) and it really did take on a mystical quality. Kinda like the Ark Of The Covenant.

Will Microsoft Works Word Processor work? I do not have Microsoft Word 2007. In a way, I do, but 'read only'!

Near as I can figure Larry, you're half way between Dave and I, so what's your secret? No Maple Syrup for my mailman this year!

Do you have Wordpad under the "Accessories" heading? That would work perfectly.

Yes! I will see if I can drag the original over and make it stick.
