In addition to be an avid sailor (I think his boat was 'Peacepipe'), Parker has some hidden artistic talents. He's done some excellent lithographs, including a memorable one of the old U.S. Customs house on stilts in Cruz Bay, St John. I lost my copy to Hurricane Hugo.
I just found this site while looking for Parker Hall. Parker and I played in the USVI and BVI 1986-90. We are both from Maine. I was at the Jolley Roger in Soper's Hole for several years and then at Frenchman's Cay BVI. He used to bring supplies to me in his dinghy on calm days from Red Hook after Hurrican Hugo. Extremely sad times for us all. Parker lost his dearest friend Rick in that storm. Karen Shaw Is parker still with us?
In the process of moving, I came across my print of the U.S. Custom House on St John, and decided to google Parker's name. Parker was always a wonderful friend for the 10 years that I lived in the islands. I think of those times with fond memories. Is Paker still with us?
Debbie, I'd love to see that lithograph again ... lost mine in Hugo. Perhaps you can take a picture of it and send it by email to wolf@islands.vi ? Thanks.
So nice to see all these old friends' comments (especially Karen Lee Shaw) and happy to let all know, after 30 years in the Caribbean, have found a new home in Florida. Alive and still full of p- and vinegar. Just getting the hang of the laptop world and looking forward to hearing from all youse guys and gals. Currently setting up my website with my guru(?) and long-time friend Mike Gerstner.
If you're curious about what I've been up to check out my website which should be active in a couple weeks. If you want to stay in touch,there will be an Email contact on the website.

Fair winds.....and thanks for all the great memories.
Parker
P.S. If you're not living on the edge, you're taking up too much space !!!
Parker, at this moment, is at Sugarloaf Homecoming, soon to head to Port Orange, FL to his digs there for the winter. Peacepipe was sold and Parker boogied north last May.
