Well Sam,
     I am probably one of the very few people on the list who
knows exactly where parker Co. is located.   Should I ever get back
to Denver I'll try to get in contact.	
     Question, is the little red Saab still sitting in the garage 
at the house on the right side of the road across from the roadside
cafe on the way to Denver.?

Bye for now,
John L.
