AJ at Project Upland contacted me almost two years ago and asked me to write something for their magazine from the "older generation" about Parker guns and hunting with them. In our conversations I said I recognized they were predominantly of the "millennial generation" to which he strongly agreed but he thought his readership would like to get a view into the way we have been doing it for so long.

I wrote an article of about three magazine pages that I thought covered it pretty well along with some Parker history and a few nice pictures....

I guess it didn't represent what they wanted to convey because it was never published.

Definitely their loss...and ours for not getting to read it.
