I believe that if a gun really needs refinishing due to its poor condition, then it should be done. But a gun that is in otherwise nice condition but with evidence of care despite signs of lots of use it should be preserved in that condition.

BTW, I am really enjoying this issue. I am not very far in, but so far have enjoyed it a great deal.

I particularly enjoyed the Gun Shop article where the author went looking for a duck gun, and the conversation with grandpa about duck hunting and such. Great issue to all who contributed to it.

Dean's patina artcile was good as well, as was the hall of fame dinner. Heck even Mills long winded turkey hunt article was enjoyable

Just kidding Mills, I usually don't get into the turkey articles as much, but I did enjoy yours.

I enjoyed two well written articles in the summer issue both without a single photo. both writers painted a picture we all could fall into and thats the "Best stuff". Thanks Dean Romig for teaching me how to find a hot woodcock cover and Tom Keer for the gun shop piece... another great issue.

Please allow me to honor one of the best features to appear in PP in the last few years:

"A Visit With My Grandson" by Steve Kliest.

This gem of humanity really speaks to the essentials of sport and sportsmanship. Not to mention our duty to nature and future generations.

Well done Mr. Kliest!

You deserve an award for this one.

John, I agree with you on your critique of Mr. Kleist's article.

Any opportunity that we can find to talk 'guns' and 'hunting' with young folks should be taken full advantage of. Without our imparting our experience and knowledge of these pastimes that are so very important to us and this way of life, the next generation will never know how fulfilling these things can be - how rich and rewarding their own lives can be.

Thank you Steve!

As of today's mail, I have not yet seen the current issue of Parker Pages. I know I am in the "wilds" of South Central Kentucky, but should I be getting concerned....? Are they mailed in a series of "batches" over a few weeks? I am looking forward to poring over its pages....

Dave

Dave, Parker Pages was dropped at the USPS in Michigan two weeks ago today. I'm in Massachusetts and I received my editor's allotment within two days and I received my personal copy two days after that.
Nearly 1,600 copies of Parker Pages are dropped at the USPS in one delivery from Village Press, our publisher. How the USPS handles/delivers/distributes them from that point is unknown to us other than the method of handling/distribution the PGCA pays postage for.

If you don't wish to wait any longer - and at this point I would bet it has been lost or the address label has become damaged to be illegible - you should contact James Hall by PM and request a replacement for your lost Summer Issue.

My issue arrived today. I checked my membership to be sure I hadn't expired.
A bright spot in a less than bright day.
It sure looks like another issue to be proud of Dean + all contributors.
Thank you all!
