You know Scott, I have said on dozens of occasions both here on the forum as well as to the deceased gentlemen to whom I make reference here...

When one of them passes, and by 'them' I mean the gentlemen who were there, who knew what happened, who knew the truths from the untruths, who could have but for some reason never did - To record for posterity everything they knew, who did what, what were their experiences, what was told to them by the men who took an active part in the successes, and failures, of the production of the Parker shotgun. But whenever one of them passes away we all have lost a veritable encyclopedia of knowledge.

We should thank God for the tireless work of the authors of "The Parker Story"!

I am with you 100%, Dean. Remington has lost several "historians" in recent years that could recall an incredible treasure of details but never put them to print. It really is a shame guys like Jack Heath, Dick Baldwin and Ken Waite, Jr. did not get their minds 'tapped' by someone who could record those gems.
