Yes, knew the name rang a few distant bells. Very prominent family in the history of Wethersfield, CT and beyond. To further Edgar's research, Fenn inherited the famed, Silas Deane House (Silas was an influential figure during the Revolutionary War) and lived there from 1899 until his death in 1939. See a pic of your boy below and a short bio of same. A wonderful Parker with a storied Nutmeg State bloodline!!

Very nice, Mark! I swoon. Love the 16 and what an awesome surprise when the letter came in "dead match", traced back to a U.S. congressman. I'm sure you'll take good care of her and exercise often.
