Sometimes truth is stranger than fiction and there must be countless spellbinding stories of special Parkers and special people. Now that is a book I would buy!

In the process of creating such a book, maybe John Dunkle can create another forum called "Parker Lore", the purpose of which would be to collect such stories. After a while, there would be enough stories for Volume I and then after a while more - Volume II. Hmmmmmmmmmmmm.......
Cheers,

I certainly could do that.. It would be a pleasure... I set up a forum on another one of my sites in such a way.

Give me a few days to get it done, OK? I'm just back from a family funeral (my Uncle Bill who was a VET and helped find the USS Thresher) and today, I was working all day today and I work tomorrow as well (yea, I know - it is Sunday)..

Anyway - I like the idea.. There are many, many posts on this forum that need to be captured and archived.. Kevin's would certainly be one of those.

My Best Always,

John

Not wanting to throw cold water on a great story, but one who likes to get facts straight, the movie Gone with the Wind premiered in New York City on 19 December 1939. It premiered in Atlanta, Georgia, four days earlier.

As Dave stated above GWTW premiered December 15th. 1939 (I was 6 months old at the time & couldn't go) at Lowe's Grand Theater on Peachtree Street in Atlanta, Georgia. A relative of mine attended & I have his programme from that night.
