First off, I’d like to say thank you to the posters on this thread. I’ve recently had several discussions with my teenage and preteen daughters about the appropriate actions and how they should treat someone when they ask them a question. I’ve tried to explain to them that talking to someone as if they are an idiot for asking isn’t the answer. If they don’t have an answer or can’t provide a positive response, it’s best to let someone else do the talking. They’ll go further in life. The second issue in the thread is to not let anyone ever tell you that you can’t or shouldn’t do anything. People usually do this because they don’t have the knowledge themselves, are afraid to attempt the task, or usually both. Of the list of experts in the field that were thrown out in the posts, I wonder how many times they were told not to do something they had never done? I wonder if Brad would have firearms in the NRA museum if he had listened to people like those posting the responses. How many people told Brian, "don't mess with it"? Hmmm. I say responses, because there was little information given about how to accomplish the task, which was the question. He never asked if he should do the task, however there were quite a few posts about how he shouldn’t be attempting it in the first place. Brian seemed to be the most willing to offer a solution. When I joined this organization recently I thought the following highlighted areas sounded good to me:
- Our Goals
· Promote Parker Shotgun Collecting;
· Publish our quarterly membership journal: Parker Pages;
· Obtain the Parker records and offer a factory-type Letter to authenticate Parkers;
· Provide members with a forum for their Parker research; and
· Conduct an Annual Meeting.
