I had the honor of being with and talking with Mr. Curry the last day he attended an event with The Carolina Vintage Gunners at Backwoods Quail Club January 20th. After shooting a round with a group I sat with a number of the Vintage Gunners and this fine gentleman asked me if I was the Parker guy. I said I was and he asked to see my Parker. I asked him which one as I had two with me. He said "bring them all out to see". I handed him my VH 12 and he proceeded to take it down and inspect it with a fine tooth comb. He looked at the serial number and came within five years of the production year. Next I handed him my GH 12 and he proceeded to do the same. We talked about my two guns for almost an hour. Everyone I met that day were the most welcoming and Mr. Curry was one of the nicest gentlemen I have met. I only met him that day and I will definitely miss him.
