Each time I share this information, I am accused of receiving this information by whatever uncouth methods. Nothing could be further from the truth. Dick and I agreed that I would be the custodian of this file. I have always been willing to share, but others in PGCA have not. Your turn.

Bill, I did not know that you had some of Dick Baldwin's research material and I assume it is primarily pertaining to Parker.

Just to clarify my comments earlier in this thread, I was referring to the Remington (including Parker) historical information by the named people [and there are others] that was carried around in their heads and not committed to print until it was too late. Many of us commented over the years that "somebody should write a book about...". At least Baldwin did so.

Dick Baldwin's book was about trapshooting only. My Dick Baldwin file is several thick binders of original Parker and Remington-Parker memos, charts, and correspondence that Dick had accumulated over decades. I am very pleased that he chose me to save and protect his collection. Unfortunately, some PGCA types, some living, some dead, chose to make it difficult for me to share it. When some other curators of Parker information decide to open their files, I will open mine. These people know who they are. I have identified them on this forum many times.

Sounds pretty selfish of those individuals and to what end? That they pass from this world and still "own" some information? Oh well.

You would be surprised to see the list of those who are not sharing information. Dean, in my mind, I think that some of this information, as voluminous as it is, should be put out in written form, published, and made available to anyone who would spend the money to purchase it.

I agree wholeheartedly Bill.
