Meriden Today

[Kevin McCormack]

I am becoming quite confused here: Was (is) the inclusion of Jim Kucaba's guns into the Parker Display (case) at the Meriden Historical Society (MHS) intended to be an additional surprise (as in addition to the Display Case) as part of the activities surrounding the new Parker family gravestones dedication this coming weekend?

Larry's earlier post(s) and first mention of the Display Case at MHS seemed to apologize for mentioning it (as in spoiling the surprise). Then attribution of Jim's guns by Dean followed by the announcement of an upcoming Parker Pages article on all of the above.

All of the wonderful things above seem to be happening by the minute, much to the chagrin of people like yours truly who will not be able to attend. How long will the display be maintained at MHS? (It would be great if it were retained through The Vintagers weekend at Addieville RI the end of Sept. It would make a great side trip to those travelling through New England at that time!).
