I had the same experience as Russ and Pete although when I stopped in on my way to Maine, Larry was on vacation but Babe was waiting for me. He told me stories of his involvement with Parker, showed me around the shop, and showed me some of the guns in the back room. What an enjoyable experience, I asked for his recommendations for a good lunch meal and he suggested an Italian restaurant in town and it was excellent. We then toured the Remington Museum but the director wasn't available. I had hoped to be able to get an up close inspection of the Parker ledgers. I did get to meet Larry at the HoF banquet and he tells the same stories as his dad.
