George please put me down for one ticket, check will go out today. Thanks !

Being the keeper of the LIST, it is very interesting to see that there are many first timers buying tickets this year in addition to the OLDE GUARDE.
It should be a helluva good time.

This event is one of the highlights of the year for me. Always a great venue with a very deserving line up of new inductees and I believe in every case folks who have done a lot for our organization and for us as Parker collectors. Thanks to you all who organize the event.

I have been informed by "she who makes the rules" , my CURRENT wife, that the check for our seats at the dinner went into the mail today.

It is for me as well Maaahkke because I get a chance to talk Southern with you and some others.

Could you speak a little slower George? I am having a hard time following you

Meeeels I was speeding myself up so my good friend McKinney could understand me.
You would never believe I spent 4 years in college in Virginia. When I graduated I spoke good Southern. But like my 8 years of Russian if you don’t use it you lose it. I can barely say hello.

Ticket sales are going well. I am way ahead of last year.

My long time friend Winston Churchill , world renown master engraver, has donated his personal GH Parker s/n 77660 to be auctioned by Bill Mullins at this years Foundation dinner at Carolina Chase Country Club on the 26th of April .
Along with the gun is a Parker letter by our Chuck Bishop, a signed letter by Winston stating the ownership, signed pictures of a Parker 28 bore that Winston engraved for a client and additionally there will be autographed pictures of Winston's "handy work". AND MORE!

Allan, had Winston ever put his graver to this Parker GH in any way?

Do you have photos of the gun or of Winston with the gun?
