I wish I had some pictures to offer but after two shots in the cemetery I got the memory full message. I'm sure Dean will post a bunch when he returns from Maine. Having been in the Parker home before it was really neat watching Dean, Robin, and the others marvel at what they found inside. To say that these folks are the ultimate collectors of everything ever made in the city of Meriden is no exaggeration. While thanking them for opening their home to us they responded "thank you for taking care of our neighbors" meaning the cemetery which abuts their property. Dave did a great job spearheading the restoration of the head stones and putting together this wonderful day but we can all take pride in the fact that our organization gained a lot of respect thru these efforts and helped preserve a little bit of the Parker legacy.
