       This past weekend my wife and I took a road trip to visit Thom
       Hale (oldfart) and his wife Chris in Portsmouth,Ohio ,about 170
       miles south of where I live.  Thom has Ruby's and so do I.   We
       both got our birds directly from Tony C.  owner and founder of
       this site.  I can't tell you what an exciting experience it was
       to get to talk and exchange ideas with a fellow pigeon flyer.
       We exchanged a lot of ideas.  I took away some "new" ideas and
       methods for bettering my Breeding and Mnagement program.  Thom
       flew 2 kits of birds. Although, the weather was terribly HOT and
       HUMID early in the morning  Thom was very disappointed in their
       performance but, I wasn't.....  I love seeing the birds fly,
       just the same...  As I told Thom, I completely understand how
       the birds can react to the weather.  I was really impressed with
       Thom's set up.   I have visited a few others but, Thom and Amir
       (who flys Oriental Rollers) and lives in Michigan have really
       built great friendly relationship with.  I would highly
       encourage everyone to go visit other fanciers in this hobby as
       much as possible.  One, to get to know more about  "rollers" in
       general and secondly, to get to personally know and built
       personal relationships with fellow fanciers.  What a "great"
       experience this was for me.  I hope others will get to know the
       same type of gratification that I have been able to have.

       Paul and his lovely bride were most welcome guests. We had a
       great time and I would be more them happy to have them return,
       anytime! The birds had a bad day, too much heat and humidity
       plus bad management stopped them from showing their
       capibilities.
       Take care my friends
       Thom
