I'm digging up posts that include the Cliff Green Parkers so Craig can relive the "Old Days". There are a bunch of them.

I hate to say it but I’m old enough now that I just might appear in some of the old NSSA pictures . Christ it’s been thirty years since I shot my last registered skeet targets .

Craig, John Jisona moved south and passed this life a few years ago. I lost contact with Alton Jones some years ago. If there was ever a bar that I was reluctant to enter, if I were with Ralph Petley, all of my fears would vanish.

OK, just for Craig, another Ralph Petley story that I have told before. This was also at Salisbury gun club. I was refereeing on about field number four, just to the right of the clubhouse. Ralph was on station one of the first round. He called for his first bird and missed it clean. Now Ralph is used to having his wife close at hand when things get tough. This is so she can catch his gun if he throws it. She was no where near when Ralph missed that high one. As soon as I said "Lost, option high.", his 682 Beretta went sailing past me at eye level. Since Ralph and I go back a long way, he thought I was going to catch it. Wrong. I let it go by and watched it land about thirty some feet beyond where I was standing. In today's world, he would have been ejected from the shoot, but back then, it was just another day.
