A bit of rivalry has always made for good sportsmanship. I was pleased to see several of the members of the Fox Collectors Association at our Spring Shoot at Addieville. The rivalry is good fun, but come the end of the day we are tied together by a common appreciation of these works of skilled hands building upon hundreds of years of tradition.

Once upon a time I thought Vintagers would be the umbrella for all, but it is becoming increasingly Eurocentric. I would argue that PGCA as the largest organization can and does play a key role in assuring that the doors are always open at our events to bring together all who treasure and preserve our traditions and beliefs. I have a certain bias toward Parkers ;-), but a couple of sportsmanship special brownie points to Dave Suponski for reaching out to the Fox Collectors to join us at Addieville. Perhaps next year we might see the LC collectors as well.
