You have expressed how all should feel about their Parkers in a much more elegant way than I could. I love the term curators. It's perfect. Curators have intimate knowledge of their works of art and protect them in the condition that they found them in unless a restoration is needed. And then minimalist techniques are used to correct issues and restore some of the glory of the piece.

My daughter is not a shooter per se but she wants some of my guns because they belonged to me and gave me so much pleasure. She considers them keepsakes. You and I are very fortunate Michael.
