Well I agree with everything Dave has said. Why are we trying to force members of this board (or rub thier noses in it:banghead:) to join the PGCA, if they want to that is great and if they don't that is their choice (some people may not be able to afford it but still want to participate). To say what you said Bruce was not for an open forum.:cuss: and you owe someone an apology!

I'd love to see Charlie as a PGCA member. He'd make a good one.

Some time back we had a 30ish young woman with a badly rusted C 16 come on here with photos of herself and her beyond repair gun. It was a wildly popular thread and people paid for her to become a PGCA member. We haven't seen her since.

So I figured the least I could do would be to pay half for Charlie. Now I doubt he is as attractive as that young woman, and I wouldn't think that has anything to do with it.

So I am sending in today to Mary Bowes $20 for the Charlie PGCA fund. All you fellows have to do is match it. Eric? Chris?

Bruce Day, beginning Parker newbie

Bruce just drop it....this is not where you need to vent :banghead: You want to pm me or phone me (you have the number) but take it off the forum. Eric

ps Are you comparing Charlie to that lady....:cuss: Just drop it.

JD or Jeff can you just delete this thread.....?

No Eric, Dee had two posts in a single thread and people paid for her. Charlie has a lot more in many threads and I am paying half for him. Care to belly up?

Again Drop it....

Like "NHUNTER", the original poster of this thread, I would also like to thank Dave Suponski, Dean Romig, Larry Frey, and Tom Wooden for being great PGCA ambassadors and representing our Parker club at the recent Stamford event... It's good to know we have knowledgeable gentlemen like yourselves who assist new members with questions and guidance when purchasing a fine shotgun...

Stephen, looks like you found a nice PHE 16, congrats and enjoy your newly acquired Parker...

Best, CSL

I finally got around to reading the 3 1/3 page article by Calvin Hamburg and Charlie Cleveland "A Kansas Hunt" in the summer 2011 Parker Pages. A very nice story, you guys obviously had a great time.

And at the end of the day, the combatants, exhausted from battle, with no winner declared dropped there weapons, shook hands and were better men for doing so!
