Mail from the fast lane. I give up.
I'll try again in the future when people get the government back and under control.
When people fear the government you have tyranny.
When governments fear the people you have freedom and liberty.
Hello, my name is Michael (Mick) Deckman and I live in
Parker City, Indiana. I was born on the northeast corner of N.Fulton St.
and E. Oak St. one block south of the ole Parker School Building. I spent
my school days living 2 houses farther south at 227 N. Fulton St. I graduated
from Parker High in 1958. As I was not a member of any of the great basketball
teams of the time, some of you may not remember me. I earned my letters playing
baseball. I have operated the town's water plant since 1966 and have seen
many changes in the town, some good, some not so good. Although the downtown
has lost several buildings and businesses, there are many new ones on the
highway now. After several years of decline, Parker City is back.
The Street Fair Homecoming has returned, with fireworks on opening night,
and new homes are being built on the southeast edge of town. My roots are
here, my life's work has been here and I'll probably die here. I have tried
my best to make this town a good place for all to live and now through these
pages, I'm bringing Parker City to you and the world.
As you can see, there are images of present day Parker City, some news, highlights
and history.
It all began on the evening of May 10,1998.
