Tom Chapman inherited money and doesn't need to do any gunsmithing but does sometimes for Herschel.
Some of the finest Parkers passed through Herschel. I bought one gun from him and it was more than advertised and gained in value.
So yes, as David asked, Herschel is still alive and kicking, talking to him was like turning back the clock ten years, and Herschel has my order. He says he thanks God for the opportunity to wake up every morning, buy and sell a few Parkers and live in east Texas.

Bruce, I called Mr. Chadick and left a message. Hopefully I will get a call soon and see where this Old Parker takes me! Thanks for posting this. I appreciate it!
