Parker Pages Fall 2016 Issue

[Dean Romig]

Thank you Frank.
I'm sure our members will enjoy reading about your unique 34" twenty-gauge Parker along with pictures of it but we'll just have to wait for the winter issue to see it.
We had some very 'time sensitive' advertising in the fall issue and needed to get it to the publisher right away.

Best, Dean

[Allan McLane]

My hat is doffed to Dean and the authors for producing yet another wonderful number. Thank you!

[Jim DiSpagno]

Got mine today and just a quick thump thru before dinner was a treat. Great job Dean as well as all contributors

Dean,
For an editor that was low on material, you sure did a fantastic job on this issue. Very timely pieces with hunting season just a breath away..........

That's great - Thanks everyone! I wasn't sure it would have arrived this quickly, but I am delighted it did - there are some time-sensitive ads and announcements in this issue.

PS, I haven't received mine yet.....

PPS... A BIG Thank You to those who contributed to this issue!

It's a good one, arrived in North Texas today. The piece on Burts gun, Dean's article on waiting through the year, and Mills hunting trip were especially enjoyable reads.

Dean, on the subject of material, have you ever considered running a by issue "classic " story each issue.

Yes Bill, I have done that, but to re-publish articles and stories from previous issues would somewhat defeat my goal of always providing fresh new material, and new authors, for each issue. I will agree that there are dozens and dozens of articles and stories from past issues that would absolutely merit publishing again but Jim Hall keeps the 'warehouse' of past issues that anyone can order from him to fill the gaps in members' collections of Parker Pages.

Neither will I publish anything that has appeared in publications other than Parker Pages. I made one exception to this rule when we published Brian Dudley's fine research article on his visit to Remington Arms in Illion to gain access to the prototype Trojan Skeet Gun for his article. What Brian found - some heretofore unknown information on the gun which was published in its entirety in Double Gun Journal - that Brian, Daniel Cote, and myself agreed could be published in Parker Pages in an abbreviated format, thereby allowing the important stuff to be published where it needed to be - Parker Pages.
But that was a unique circumstance, which of course may happen in the future, depending on the nature of the material.

I republished four articles, one for each issue of our twentieth anniversary volume, as a special tribute to Parker Pages, Volume 1, Issues 1, 2, 3, and 4 and to their authors.

Special circumstances call for special departures from the norm, but I really don't plan on republishing anything from past issues unless I simply do not have enough material for a particular issue.

I will continue to solicit new material for each and every issue with sincere hopes that I won't have that last-minute crunch-time scramble through past issues to find what I would consider to be the right article (theme/purpose/word-count, etc.) for re-publication.

Thanks for asking Bill,
Dean

That makes sense, and I definitely agree about continuing to get new information and such. I just had enjoyed the anniversary articles that I wanted to suggest it!
