Does he by chance have one of the steam engines Parker sold ? All the years I fooled with steam I had no idea they sold them at one point .

I hope we see an eight-page spread in Parker Pages featuring Louis and his collection.

Hall of Fame Dinner Canceled

Louis Parker lll has recently undergone serious back surgery. He is currently unable to attend the event at Carolina Trace Country Club and as such, the Foundation Board has made the decision to cancel the event. We are hoping to reschedule again next year, same time.

I echo Dean's comments. We had scheduled to be there if at all possible this year expressly because of the induction of Louis who was so kind and encouraging to me in my research on Wilbur, Sr.

Louis, I hope you heal quickly and are able to be honored appropriately next year.
