Hi Unregistered,
On July 29th, this site will be moving..! No, really - it's "moving" to another physical location - including servers, gateways, routers - everything - including my coffee cup...
So, from the date of July 29th through July 30 or 31 (shooting for these dates, but - as always, I'm at the mercy of my ISP who has to install the lines to the new location - and we actually get them running ;) ). But - this site, cloud servers and main web will be OFF LINE.
Now, please save these dates!! Please - don't be "that guy" who emails me on the 30th to tell me you "can't open the Parker Website". I'll already know it is offline - and also know that you are "that guy"...
I'll take this notice up and down over the next week or so - and leave it up during the final few days before shutting it off on the 29th..
John D.

They still make Gilman Bros shirts there and they are still outstanding shirts. One of the few made in the USA. I still have one from the 80s, cuffs and collar frayed but it has some excellent memories attached so it stays in my closet.
Thanks Bill for reminding me of a great guy.

I wish back when I was shooting and attending events with Shelly, I had begged a shirt. I couldn't afford them then, and I can't afford them now. Oh, well. If I had saved his life or something, he probably would have given me a shirt or two. However, I never saw Shelly as someone who needed someone to save his life. His final years took him by surprise. Kevin McCormack will remember attending an absolutely fabulous shoot one weekend. It was time to shoot the skeet events and Shelly didn't have any skeet loads. We offered to give him some of our trap loads for the event. Shelly declined to participate, saying "You don't shoot skeet with trap loads." End of story.
