I had heard of Parker shotguns but had never seen one. They are few and far between my my part of the country. As the son of a WWII vet, I grew up with a father that used a semi-auto shotgun in the field. My first shotgun was an American Gun Company tewnty-eight gauge hammer gun given to me by my maternal grandfather when I was about fifteen years old. I longed for one of those twelve gauge semi-autos like my father and uncle used. As I grew older, I shopped the bookstores for gun and dog magazines. I saw a magazine that looked much different than the other publications on the racks. That magazine was the Double Gun Journal. I read that magazine and was slightly interested in the content regarding those old doubles as I had one that had been relegated to the case after I procured one of my long sought semi-autos. I looked for the DGJ when I returned to the bookstores but never saw another one. Somewhere along the line I saw an ad for that magazine and subscribed. Looking at my collection, I find my first complete year was 1992. I am missing some issues throughout my collection, probably due to my spouse thinking they were just clutter. I always enjoyed my brief conversations with Heidi when I called to renew or order their product. Because of this magazine I was led to the PGCA. Yesterday, I received the DGJ Index and reader III. I have yet to open the wrapper, I am unsure when I will, but I look at that Index and reminisce about my journey with this magazine that led me here. A fitting finale to this fine publication. Thank you to the Cote's for your labor of love.

William, you can still order those missing issues from the Cotes.
