I thought I would say hello from Jim Thynne

[John Albano]

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

[Larry the Gun Guy]

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

I love all of you guys, It was a great time. I started at age 14 with my first Parker and the 22 of this month I will be 84. A friend of mine and I have been sampling his Scotch beverage along with cigars, so spelling may be out of order. What a great ride 70 years with Parkers foxes and Smiths. Thank you for those that did business with Jerry and myself........ It wa fun!

Jim, Don Criswell introduced us at the old Las Vegas show. We did a little gun trading when I had my shop in Nashville. Good to hear you are doing well and still shooting. John Allen

Good Lord!! How are you John. I do miss those times. I have a few Parkers in the safe, but got into high grade Belgium doubles and have a number of the sidelock guns by various makers Le beau etc! The workmanship is second to none an the prices are tempting!!

[Jim Thynne]

So many memories and so many old friends, I wish the Vegas Show would get back to the basics, It was my favorite!!

Hi Jim. I will never forget having dinner with you just off the Las Vegas Strip, having a show and tell in their parking lot, Remember the 32" Runge-Del Greco A1 special Trap Gun? Also the 2 barrel set DHE "Doctor's Gun.
Remember Bob Sanchez's pigeon ring in Corona? There's a lot of memories out there.
We lived thru some golden years! We'll live out this season of life, and meet on the other side.
