Harry, I'm 76. I know another Parker guy well, and he's no kid either. That only accounts for two of more than 7-8 others who stepped up. Keep in mind that August only had about a dozen Parkers, the balance being some pretty fine English SxS, Several fine continental guns, and some beautiful rifles.
Orvis reports that this was the most well attended Game Fair ever. Given the very few events held in New England of this nature, Suggesting they are dying out, couldn't be further from the truth.
Being one of them, I've got a lot off respect for 'Old Men', but Harry, you and a couple others really have to accept that the Civil War ended almost two centuries ago.
