The Parker Name lives on!.....
About three years ago, I spoke with you at Mike Robert's fundraiser at Natural Bridge Hotel. My youngest daughter Jody was pregnant at the time. If the child she was carrying was a bow, they planned to name him Parker, because of my son-in-law's love for his Parker compound. As it turned out, he/she was a beautiful girl named Faith -- whom we cherish and thank God for....
However, this March 15, a big little Parker weighed in eight and a half pounds. Parker Christian Laforce...handsome, storng boy... he'll be an archer and hunter, he doesn't have much choice in this family! Out in the hinterlands of America, they are naming their children after you and your bows...just thought you ought to know.
Counting the Parker crossbow that I bought this spring, we have three Parkers in the family now.
"As arrows are in the hand of a mighty man; so are children of the youth. Happy is the man that hath his quiver full..." Psalm 127:4-5.
