I guess by all the talk the drug dealers and dope heads have taken over the block, I would like to get up to Meriden and see that building before i leave here, I bet you can feel "feel" the presence of the old guys who worked there! Well guess I will not be giving up a Parker for the building raffle, by the way here is the gun I was thinking about offering, Gary

Gary,
If your ever traveling through the area give me a call and I will take you over there. Last year Dave and I took founding member Fred Stump and his wife to view the Parker grave sites, the Meriden Historical Society, and the old PB factory site. I'm not sure the neighbors have figured out why people would stop on a dead end street to pick up old bricks.

We do have an alternative to a bricks & mortar museum. A Parker film documentary on the history of PB, the factory, people and grades would be relatively inexpensive to produce. No travel required and it would reach a broader audience. Much of the material has already been researched, collected and published. I'll bet the membership has even more to contribute too.

Wouldn't it be terrific to watch a PB historical documentary and learn about the manufacturing process along with photos and maybe even some early film footage? What a great way to educate folks about Parker and preserve a proud piece of American gun manufacturing
