Default The Life and Times of Fred Kimble

As some of you know, and some may not, I wrote a book several years ago chronicaling the life of Fred Kimble (long distant duck shot, live pigeon shooter, inventor and a Parker man). The book was received warmly by many. The paper back copies are just about all gone now, so I have saved it in e-form inorder to preserve the history. It can be down loaded for free for all who are interested. Simply go to http://www.oldmp.com/fredkimble/, the password is fk1945. Hope you enjoy.

Merry Christmas to all and have a wonderful new year.

John:
Thanks for doing this. I have a paper copy of the book, and found it superb. You did monumental research!

Best, Kensal

We're still looking for Fred's B Grade top lever hammer gun. 33" original Damascus barrels. I know John has his nose to the ground.
