Note Miss Taylor I believe just East of Santa getting a big chuckle out of the situation.:rotf:

Sssshhhhhhhhh :rotf::rotf::rotf:

You are correct sir! See what fun y’all are missing out on!! It’s the place to be. :cool:

Here is a link to the 8 millimeter film referred to in Art Wheaton's PARKER PAGES article about George and Kay Evans' visits and their shoots with Dr. Charles Norris.

It is not a professional production, as said at the end of Art's article. It appears that the principals were doing all the filming themselves, home movie-style. But that such a time-capsule of 1950s bird hunting exists at all, showing the dogs, the guns, and these personalities of classic American sporting literature in action, without the guile or bombast of so many contemporary commercially-sponsored hunting videos, accounts for a special rarity and value for enthusiasts.

That’s wonderful Russell - Thanks very much for the link.
It is so important to have and view, and be able to go back as often as we would like to these times of our sporting heritage!

I just watched it, that is really something to see from the 1950's.

The Doctor Norris article reminds me that I missed the Norris "Woodcock Gun", a great lightweight Purdey that was in a retail store and now is in the wind. A PGCA member once owned it and let it go. I'm not sure he knew what he had. I didn't buy it for about half of what it was worth, even without the Norris provenance. I'll be ready if I ever get my "second chance". Dean Romig gave me a bitch slap for letting it go. At the time I didn't even own a Purdey so there was no excuse.

True that Bill !!

Dean, I'm still recovering from that slap. I deserved it.

.....I can't disagree with you on that point Bill.
