Dave: The "make your day" one shots are memorable. I have even had memorable zero shots days, just because I was with good company on a shirt sleeve autumn day in wild country that just feels like home. Adding a Parker into the mix bumps that up another notch.
Your 45 star flag is interesting. The 45 star flag flew as the official flag of the USA from 1896-1908, pre-dating WWI by six years. The unknown story behind your flag would be interesting for sure.
History of the progression from 13 to 50 stars in the flag of the USA can be found
