[Old and Reliable]

Harry, best wishes for Cissy's having a speedy recovery from the replacement surgery. Your bride is blessed, many guys I know would not even mention something like this on an Internet site. Just another indicator of the care and concern we all share with our brother Parker-ists both here, and with those we can sometimes hunt, shoot or just gather with socially.

FYI- one of my favorite shooting companions is 81- retired from Real estate (somewhat) and has had both hip and knee replacement surgeries done over past 10 years- and he is out for birds with the best of them, and a fine wingshot to boot (M21- not a Parker- yet!)

We are blessed to have modern medicine and surgical techniques today, but anytime a loved one goes "under the scapel" there is always concern. I'll keep you both in thoughts and prayers-
