Very well done John!

Nicely done. Great photo, and another path of interest for those of us with this affliction for fine double guns!

Thanks for sharing that photo.

I believe the Borsuks live in what was once Wilbur's house next to the cemetery with the Parker family plot. This is not that one. This one is far larger and more elaborate than the Wilbur Parker house.
