I don't know if it was Kevin's or the associations. |
Years ago either Austin Hogan or Charlie Herzog (I forget whom) loaned me that tablecloth for use in doing Parker-related displays at shows where the Association did not want to do a formal PGCA-sponsored display such as Bruce cites at Pheasant Fest. I believe Charlie Herzog had 3 of them made up at his expense. Although heavy and cumbersome compared to the lovely current lightweight, full-colored ones in Association use today, people seemed to like it; like John B's comment, we frequently heard, "Where can I get one?"
Apparently somebody liked it a whole lot more than we did; it was stolen from my trap and pigeon gun display table in the Parker-LC Smith tent a few years ago. The thieves had very bold and eclectic tastes: the cover shown was under a soft table cover with a plastic tarp on top of both to protect the display from rain, all secured to the table with heavy spring hand clamps. Just to add a dash of variety, person or persons who took it may be the same ones who also stole 17 brand new 40-gallon plastic trash barrels that Bill Kempfer had purchased at WalMart the day before! Caveat exhibitor!!
