Thanks Dave and all those who had a hand in this endeavor. Good article. I added a comment and hope others do as well. While I have never been to Meriden Conn, those two words on the rib of my Dad's VH have been fused in my brain from childhood, along with the image of my black lab "Snippy" on the DHBP.
Regards,
Jack

Terriffic work Dave! It's nice to get some "good press" for we 'gun nuts' once in a while.

I'm looking forward to the 11th!

Yes Bill they are all members of the Parker family. From right as best as I can remember it goes. Dexter,Charles,Father,Mother,Wilber,Elizabeth(Wilb ers Wife) at the extreme left are the headstones of the five children that Charles fathered but didn't not grow to maturity. All told Charles fathered 10 children.

I find it absolutely AMAZING what ONE person can do for an entire organization. They just have to have that "Fire In the Belly" to make it happen and get it done....

Dave - nicely done... You have my admiration and respect..!
