[Cold Spring]

I have an advance copy of the Summer DGJ and want to let members know there’s a great Parker article in it, on a certain VHE 410. It was written by Steve Cambria "Tool Man" and it’s the tale of a respected member’s multi-year quest for the gun. Written in Steve's inimitable style, it’s a good read and one I think you'll enjoy.

Also want to mention that Daniel Cote wrote about how he and Joanna did their very first trade fair this year after 25 years of publishing the DGJ; that was the Southern SxS, and they plan to be at the Orvis Game Fair and also the North American Shotgun Classic at Dover Furnace. Both events in NY and in September. Dan also shared some personal thoughts and mementos from his Gun Room to include his first baseball glove bought with proceeds from lawn mowing and selling nightcrawlers, also some paintings and two favorite 20b double guns. He promised to share more in future issues. A nice glimpse of the publishers .....
