[Bruce Day]

Dr. Dick Dow and Pete Kappes. Dick flew in from Orange County, Cal and Pete drove down from way northwest Minnesota, Ada, MN, where it got to 32 below this winter.

At the table. Ed Morgan, consumate salesman, from Galena ILL. Tom Wooden from Mass. who flew in by way of Houston. Tom runs a major northeastern natural gas utilities company and is always there to help. Pete again, kneeling .

All great people who always carry the ball.

Lots of dogs/kennels operators there. Llewellins( big field trail coming up next weekend that a couple of us are running pups in), pointers, setters, GSPs, wirehaireds, all sorts of sporting breeds barking, whining, cuddling, etc.

Had a couple folks ( ret DEA agent and his wife, an FBI supervisor) fly in from Fredericksburg VA next to DC just to look at the exhibits and particularly the guns. They knew we were going to be here and came in to spend some time, spent a long time looking and he said that he collected pre war Brownings but wanted to see Parkers. Thats him above in the PF light blue shirt holding the John Browning AH Parker.

Cabelas is the major corporate sponsor for Pheasants Forever at this event and always is generous in their funding to PF. Without great sponsors like Cabelas, these events don't happen and we in turn always suggest people look at the Cabelas and other websites when they ask where they might find a Parker.
