This thread started prior to my knowledge of the PGCA, but after reading it in it's entirety, I think it represents what the PGCA is about. Thank you to Ms. Durham and all the posters for this very interesting story.

I think that Dee is somewhat of a PGCA celebrity.
A pretty young lady with an interesting Parker inheritance story, told in a compelling manner. What's not to love? |

Dee, I somewhat restore alot of these old guns not to make them pretty, but more to make them usable. My preference is to use a gun that looks it's age, but well taken care of. I can't afford the pretty stuff myself, but they sure look nice when they get that face lift and new wood! I'm more of a purist, i like a gun that shows wear and tells many stories from the past. I think your gramps Parker will do the same if you listen hard enough. Honestly I can't see sinking alot of money into a gun if you're not going to use and enjoy it. Enjoy the ride and live vicariously through your grandfather's life and his days with the old Parker.

Hello Dee. I just read through this entire thread once again. You have seen that the Parker guys here are quality people, but I think you should know that you yourself are just that sort of person also. Your early posts were so endearing, and your willingness to share the story of this fine shotgun, your family, and your thoughts with us is testament to the way you were raised. You are young compared to the average age of most of the members here including myself, but you have wisdom beyond your years. We all appreciate that you found this site and help make this one of the premiere threads ever with over 96,123 views. I want to thank you for revisiting the site and saying hello. It's like hearing from a long missed family member. I pray that God will bless you and your family, and that someday the CHE will be passed down to one of your children. I feel sure that you have raised them to appreciate good things and fine people, and this thread will still be available for them to look back on to see just how much the old gun, and the fine
young woman you are, meant to all of us here. |
