The GRNC dinner was held on Saturday October
13th 2001 at C. W. Kidd's Rocking K Ranch in Charlotte, NC. Over 60 people attended the dinner
which was held later in the evening after the Charlotte Gun Show. Guest speakers were Neal
Knox, Dr. Jim Parker, Mary Carpenter and two granddaughters. GRNC President Paul Valone, and
Dir. of Volunteer Services Terry Fields rounded out the presentations.
Neal Knox is a former NRA Board member and is a staunch defender of Second Amendment rights.
Dr. Jim Parker is running for Jesse Helm's US Senate seat. Mary Carpenter is the paternal
grandmother of the two children who were brutally murdered inside their rural Merced
California home on August 23, 2000 by a stranger with a pitchfork. Traveling with Mrs.
Carpenter for the GRNC dinner are her two granddaughters that survived the attack. GRNC is
very pleased to have such distinguished guests as these.
Speeches by the invited guests were preceded by a barbeque dinner in the unique ranch style
setting of the Rocking K Ranch facilities.
