Well it started when I was about 15yrs old in 1983 in The South Bronx, N.Y. I live on a 5th floor buliding and I had 8 tipplets on a window coop. As I got older I had a chance to put a coop on the roof 8'X8' with a screen size of 8'X8' holding a total of 254 print canadian tipplets high flyers 4,5 hours on the wing on a good day they wouldn't be seen for hours on end they just fly, but then as time passed I seen a friend that had a black homer and a grizzle homer too, and they where very fast and they are smart too, He would take them to Brooklyn,N.Y on the train and release them and they would get home so I tried this with my pigeons"tipplets" took about 40 birds on a check up that is what we called training in the tipplet world in N.Y.C. Anyways to tell you I got back nothing that day but I did get some back a couple of days later but to know that the homer can make it back in a couple of mins, sometimes under an hour so they caught my attention I said to myself, Self, someday I will get a homer loft. As time passed by in my life I grew into other things getting married,work, kids, and became a grandfather too, and now I'm getting back into the sport of pigeon racing living now in Worcester,ma. It's here where i met a man by the name for Frank Pacheo whom gave me a couple of good youngsters to start me up so i can join a club. I now the opportunity and a place where I can build my 1st loft, it's not easy but a dream in progress. I've been waiting for this day for a long time since 1998, it's like a baby coming into the world. I just got lucky you can say meeting Bill Desmarias the Director of the A.U. Northeast zone whom helped me out with getting started with a good stock of breeders. Also I express my greatest condolances to the Greenhall family my heart goes out to his family and I give my blessing to the The Greenhall Family in loss of a great man Dr. Frank Greenhall, I didn't know him but i've read of him. And I've been bleessed to have some of his pigeons in my loft and keep him in the sport. I like to do well and pass on the love for the sport. In 2010 it will be my 1st year in the club. looking to make a mark in the pigeon world. Lets see what happens!
