from the webmaster:  My debt of gratitude goes to Vincent Rooney who has helped me immensely get into the hobby.  I had homing pigeons when I was growing up but really didnt know the true essence of the racing world.  Vince has gone above and beyond to help me, and I'm sure many other amateurs that have gone before me.  A true pigeon enthusiast and a gentleman.  My hats off to him. ~Mike Tungol
