indeed he did shoot Parkers - with a preference to small bores. I don't know if he shot Parkers for waterfowl but he did enjoy duck and goose shooting - a fact not a lot of people know about.
The former Glen Rock Kennel (Davies) property has undergone a very nice yet subtle transformation. The tall shrubs at the front of the property along Dascomb Rd have been removed and a rock wall put in their place. The place looked very pretty at Christmas time with wreaths in the windows and candles and one strategically placed spotlight. The lot immediately nextdoor which was wooded with very big white pines has been cleared, apparently for the construction of a house. I don't know if this piece was part of the Glen Rock property or not. The wife of the couple who bought the Glen Rock place works with my daughter at Pfizer right down the street from my house. Melissa is coming here today when she gets out of work and I'll ask her to ask her friend what the plans are for the kennel houses. I hope they preserve the history. They know of the history of the place. Maybe they can get a small grant to help to repair some of the ravages of time that have been wrought on the place.
