Your intro to Parkers and your first Parker

[Jean Swanson]

I lived in Keene ,NH next to a retired New England telephone repair man named Louis Goland---my mentor. At the age of 7 (1946) he gave me a Parker, VH, 20 bore of which I still have today along with other guns that he willed to me upon his death . Louis also gave me my first Brittney ---Belle---.

Needless to say I have been hooked on Brits and Parkers ever since .

When I was old enough to shoot trap, I used my grandfathers SC SBT. He always shot a LC Smith Olympic SBT. When I moved to Harrisburg, I wanted to start shooting trap again. He gave me the SBT. Later before he passed away I bought his 12ga PH with Parker Steel barrels. It was his hunting gun. I still have both guns.

For my Dad's sixteenth birthday, his father's cousin took him to Meriden and bought him his first, a VH 16. He also had an uncle, still living in Meriden, who gave him a T Latch Lifter. I traded that for a First Model S&W .22 when I was 16. I still do stupid stuff, all the time.
