And by the looks of there home, they were doing very well for themselves:bowdown:

Dean Romig 07-02-2015 01:11 PM

Right Steve... I'll bet that place cost close to $15K to build back then.

Nicely done. Great photo, and another path of interest for those of us with this affliction for fine double guns!

Thanks for sharing that photo.

Is that the Borsuks home?

Dean Romig 07-02-2015 05:29 PM

I believe the Borsuks live in what was once Wilbur's house next to the cemetery with the Parker family plot. This is not that one. This one is far larger and more elaborate than the Wilbur Parker house.
