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.

When I was in college in 1967, I dreamed over a Gun Digest issue to the point to the point I wrote to Dale Goens and Winston Churchill asking as to their price of stocking and engraving a custom rifle. Being poor as a church mouse, there was no way of course. Sadly, I never persued this. It pains me to think back that at that time, I could have purchased a custom stocked rifle of the best French walnut and engraved by Winston Churchill for less than $1000. I ran across the letter from GOens just the other day. The work of both of them to this day strikes me as the perfection in style of what I want in a rifle.

Winston Churchill
I met Winston in the early 90’s at Corbin Park. He was a great engraver, sculptor, and story teller! He will be missed by all that had the privilege of knowing him.
I’m fortunate to have a bust of a Rocky Mountain Sheep head he did years ago.
He may be gone but his work will live on and be an enduring legacy to him!
