ECBC National Hall of Champions
 

in memory of
Willis D. Parker

        Willis D. Parker, born 1908 in Santa Barbara County, California, dedicated his entire adult life to the development of the Chinchilla Industry.  He was a firm and resolute believer in the industry.  He worked hard and long hours pioneering with the late Mathias Chapman and his son, Reginald Chapman, and with many other old-time friends, right up to the day he passed away in August 1981.
     Willis Parker was an inspiration and helpful friend to many.  The abundance of knowledge he conveyed to anyone interested in the Chinchilla Industry as lecturer, author of several Chinchilla books, publisher of his treasured Chinchilla World Trade Journal, a monthly work since 1948, has earned him a world of recognition in North America, South America, Europe and Africa.
     To have known the real Bill Parker, was to respect him with honor and admiration.
