Pulled out a 2001 Shooting Sportsman last night with an article about Michael and his guns. I always found it interesting that he had some really fine guns which he loved and shot, never seemed to try for number of this or that, just a special few like his Purdey hammer gun that I believe Trevalion may have redone some for him. As you mentioned he and Michael left some great stories behind about their exploits, often passing as brothers. Some of our Parker guys are out there right now, brothers, building stories to be told. Good luck John and Bruce, great examples for us all.

You should hear David's rendition of their trip to Russia.... hilarious!

I enjoy thumbing through David's copy of their book.... it is stuffed with notes and clippings and small editorials hand-written by David throughout the book. It's always great fun visiting with him.
