Thanks for the "Welcome", Jack.
I've been "official" here since Oct 2008, and lurked quite a while before that.
Don't know why it only shows this as my first post. I've participated in several threads (IIRC). On one thread I made mention of my VHE 16GA with 32" barrels,...and that this relatively long barreled 16GA shot lower than my other mostly 28 and 30" barreled guns.....which I attributed to the longer barrels.
I check in nearly every day to see what going on with "the Parker boys". 22-25 April was my fifth year at Sanford NC trying to make it onto the LC Smith team (hope springs eternal), so I've knowingly and unknowingly rubbed shoulders with many of "the Parker boys". Introduced Claudio to Bill Murphy this year at The Southern, and they got on famously.
If you didn't know, Tim Horton was a defenceman for the Toronto Maple Leafs of the original six team National Hockey League. The Leafs brought him and Keon down outta from somewhere in northern Ontario in 1955(?). Horton and Davey Keon were guests of honour at a rally at York Memorial High School for the Bert Robinson Hockey League in Toronto in Sep(?) 1955, and a wide-eyed 10 year old "ME" got both their autographs. I was the cock of the walk on the Pittsburg Hornets in that league for a good while.
Horton paired with Allan Stanley on defence. Brewer paired with Bauhn(SP?) and these two pairs were the Gold Standard of defence in the NHL for 10 years. Near the end of his career, Horton was traded to the Buffalo Sabers. Sadly, he wrote himself off in a fast car driving between Toronto and Buffalo IIRC.
