Wasn't my first Parker but it was a DHE 20 with 32" barrels purchased when you and Jerry were at the Sandanona Vintage cup many moons ago. At 76 I'm not far behind. Good to here from you.

Good to hear from you, Jim!! I just turned 80 last month. I know for sure I got a 16-gauge SP-Grade A.H. Fox and a 28-gauge Superposed from you and Jerry at Las Vegas shows. Have always wished you had been more emphatic about the rarity of the Ithaca Lefever A-Grade .410-bore you had there one year!!

Ivory Beads will be recognized as a really big part of collecting history. Too bad you didn't have a presence on the East Coast. Congratulations from another "80" guy.

Howdy Jim,
Great to hear from an old friend. I'll always cherish the days we spent together on our many Argentina dove adventures together. Some of the old gang is heading down Argentine way next month but unfortunately you & I will only be with them in spirt for this one. I hope you are happy and doing well in Arizona. Keep smiling my friend. |

Jim, Thank you for your note. You helped me into a Fox or two over the years in Vegas. Always a gentleman. John

Shootin Parkers
One of the best memories I have of shooting with you is when we were in a shoot off at the California State Side X Side championships for the 25 yard trap. You were shooting a 32" BHE beavertail Trap gun and I really wanted that gun.
Unfortunately, you weren't selling it just then. Later, I was surprised when you told me how it unnerved you when I yelled to my friend to bring me a bunch of shells because we were going to be there a while. Of course, I wasn't trying to do that, I just knew you were a good shot, and we might have to shoot a bunch of targets to see who won. Those were great days Jim. Take care and good shooting to you. Larry |
