In honor of Kirk H. Parry

(I wrote the following last weekend on a pad of paper, and wanted to finally post it today.)

A kind doctor at the hospital where my father, Kirk Parry, just passed reminded me to take this as an opportunity to celebrate his life. Good advice, to be sure, and I hope to do just that here at the Preserve by continuing our mission and attempting to accomplish still more legitimate goals in the coming weeks and months. First off, we will begin an immediate celebration with a marathon of posts of the vintage collection of the Preserve - which was the original and still greatest purpose! All of the items featured will be things that my dad originally got for me in the '80s when I was growing up, and which make the Preserve the historical reference that I can be proud of.

So here's to you dad, thanks for the Preserve, and thanks for all of the countless intangibles too.
