Dear RSA Members,
| Summer months are slow for gun shows in America, and there is not much going on. But in early May your Remington Society was well represented at the NRA Annual Meeting in Houston, Texas, by an exhibit of E. Remington & Sons’ firearms from the collections of RSA Vice President George McAllister and member J.D. Hofer. The guys worked extremely hard building an exhibit that measured 20′ wide by 10′ deep! You will see photographs of their exhibit in this issue. The NRA announced that more than 75,000 members and guests attended the 5-day event! McAllister and Hofer stated that many thousands of those visitors came through the Gun Collector’s Exhibit area and went through the Remington Society booth. Thanks, guys, for representing our organization so well. Leaders of the Remington Society have begun |
Your Remington Research Team travelled to the Remington plant in Ilion, New York this past June. This marked the 22nd year in a row that the team returned to Ilion to help Remington preserve their historical records.Team members are handpicked for their expertise in different areas of Remington history and types of firearms. Team members who traveled this trip included: Gene Myszkowski, Bob, Sue and Corey Creamer, Vin Ventura, Bob Hatfield, Garland Jackson, John Lacy, Bill Hansen, Jane Spellman and yours truly.While in Ilion we met the new Remington plant manager, Paul Merz. It was gratifying to see that he had an issue of the Remington Collector’s Journal on his desk! Paul has a warm feeling for the history that has been made at “The Arms,” and has a true appreciation for the fine work done by the men and women working there. I hope to see you at the 17th Annual RSA Historical All my best, |
