It was written up in the next issue, July/Aug 2003 of Parker Pages but had been announced in previous issues such as May/June 2003. That was before the current glossy magazine we have today when the "newsletter" was a compilation of as many as twenty-eight pages stapled together at the upper left corner.
In an attempt to find this information I thumbed through these copies and found some great reading! "Charles A. King" by Dave Suponski, "Parker Family Grave Site Restoration Project" also by Dave, That's the one with the pictures I remembered - the Sept/Oct 2002 issue. Also "Who Was George Rockwell?" by Ron Kirby - I saw on the other side of King's obelisk Rockwell's own obituary data carved into the stone equally as nicely as was King's and Ron wrote about that too. An extremely in-depth article "The Parker Half Frame" was researched and written by Ron Kirby and Harry Sanders - a very well-researched article.
This is wonderful stuff and some of it has been revisited recently but I would encourage everyone who doesn't have all of the old Parker Pages to order the DVDs and read all of this invaluable old information. This stuff isn't lost to those who only recently joined the PGCA - you can get it all on DVD. I've received my DVD and can't get over the fantastic job Robin Lewis did in putting it all together in a very professionally done archive.
