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.

Babe and our own Mr. Kevin McCormack. In the back ground is the last remainig Parker gun works building. This building was the shipping office for the gun works. In the attic of this building was were all the hang tags that the PGCA now owns were found. The building was for sale a couple of years ago for $60.000. Also I heard a rumor that the company that makes the "Parker Bros. Makers over/under were thinking of buying it. When I was there last May I think it was still a machine shop.
Dave,Did you take this picture at the Meriden Homecoming in 2003?

You got it exactly right Dave June 21, 2003. It was especially memorable to me as a new member in the PGCA looking to learn everything I could about The Parker Gun Co. The whole day was filled with Parker information from the display presented by the PGCA, the visit to the historical society as well as the visit with Dr. Borsuks at Wilbur Parkers home. Getting to spend time with Babe, his lovely wife and son Lawrence as well as meeting and having lunch with Kevin and Dave in Yalesville provided an opportunity to discuss and learn more about the Parker Gun. It was a very memorable time for those that were fortunate enough to attend.
