Thanks Pete - very fitting. And what a sweet little Parker it is. I only wish I had brought enough money to The Cobb's that morning - it might have been mine.
I certainly don't want to change the tone of this thread but Bill Tapply was a very good writer of sporting stories, both hunting and fishing as well as his acclaimed Brady Coyne mystery novels (of which I only ever read "Bitch Creek" and enjoyed it) but I prefer his sporting books and stories. For those who may not know, his wife, Vicki Steifel Tapply saw to it that we have one more William G. Tapply book of his sporting stories in the latest and likely last one, "Every Day Was Special", Skyhorse Publishing, 2010, foreward by Nick Lyons and the introduction by "Chicadee Farm" Hancock, New Hampshire which, of course, is where Bill and Vicki live(ed). It is a book of fishing essays but good writing nonetheless.
