Parker's book is off the press and it looks fantastic. It's a super read, written as only Parker could have written it. The old boy is still taking cancer treatments and stays pretty much under the weather so he won't be able to sign and ship copies as of now. He says hello to all of you and thanks you for your prayers. The book can be ordered from Keith Winkler at Sterling Fur. Thanks-Don Shumaker

I can't wait to get it. I'll see if Keith can bring one to the MI convention for me...

There's a website for the book here as well: www.PeltsBook.com

Looks like something I'd enjoy reading! Will it be available on Amazon? I have a gift card that I still need to use (I did check Amazon but could only find the Kindle version.)

Thanks Jared-Don

I ordered one-hardback-off of Amazon. There will be a softcover copy also. Thanks-Don

Thanks, found it! I think I was somehow searching withing the Kindle store by accident (not sure how I got there, don't even own a kindle!) Anyway, I'll get myself a copy once I find my gift card now

How's Parker doing? You said he's still taking cancer treatments, does he need anything? Like a care package? Is there a food he can eat and keep down? I know you can have swings with regards to appetite.

My old friend is not doing well but is fighting a good fight. He doesn't need anything but your prayers and perhaps a cheer up, get well card. He is not taking calls and can't do any amount of corresponding. His address is, Parker Dozhier, 262 Sharon Terrace, Hot Springs, Arkansas 71913.Thanks-Don

I used to talk to Parker quite a bit before he got sick. Nice guy. Tell him I hope he gets better because I still want to come see him.

...and he is one that knows !

google parker dozhier, does anyone know what all went on? not what I was expecting i was looking for places to buy the book .

I'm not certain - but I think there might be 2 people with that name in Arkansas.

Hopefully Don Shumaker will see this and set the record straight.

Hey fellas-the Parker Dozhier that you read about on google is our Parker. During the Clinton era we both were involved in projects that exposed the Clintons for what they were. The liberals and their "law dog" lackeys came down on us hard, especially Parker. I was living in New Mexico at the time and headed up a group called "Americans In Action", a non profit outfit that was attempting to start a grass roots effort to hopefully get enough people to organize, get off their butts and take back our country and government. We printed a newspaper that was very educational and Parker wrote for it. Through a series of channels, we were advised by some higher ups in Washington to cease and desist our project, that it might not be healthy for us-get the drift? The stuff you see on google was put there by liberals who want to smear Parker or any of us who believe in standing up for what is right and best for America. They label us as "radicals" of the far right wing and even consider us to be somewhat of a terroist. Isn't that sad and a good example of how our country is failing? I'm not any sort of hero, but I fought and bled for my country before and will still give my life for the country I love. I'm sure that many of you are patriotic and will do what you can for the best, but some of you won't even vote or get others to vote to remove the garbage that runs our nation today. Another 4 years of what we now have will end it for sure!

Parker's book can be ordered from Sterling Fur Co. (Keith Winkler) or you can google Amazon Books and order through them. Thanks-Don

Don, I talked to Parker quite a bit about the Clinton scandals he helped expose. Told me the whole story about Whitewater and how it got started.

Sending out a card tomorrow. Come on guys, Parker's done a lot for trapping, let's send him a bunch of cards to cheer him up.

I talked with Don tonight. He said Parker still wasn't doing very well.

I'll be getting his book this weekend at the MI convention. Keith Winkler, Sterling Fur, is bringing me a copy of it.

I'll be sending up a Prayer for Parker...PS "Trapping the Beaver Swamps" is still one of my favorite trapline stories of all times, Mr. Shumaker.

Thanks for thinking of Parker and thanks for the compliment-Don
