I began showing my Indians in 1968 and have participated in every Pageant of Pigeons since then. I have been instrumental in the introduction of the Andalusian, and many other colors and marks in the Indians. In 1982 1 began work on the bariess Blue and in 1993 1 started on the Barless and barred Brown. My Browns have been shown at the Pageant of Pigeons and at the Grand National held in Milwaukee, Wisconsin in January, 2000. In my desire to improve the color and mark in the Indian Fantail I have given away many more birds then I have ever sold. This year alone I have given over 50 birds to other fanciers to help them improve on their color projects. I am proud of what I have accomplished in my hobby, but I am neither looking for platitudes or gratitude, my desire is to continue adding new colors and marks into the beautiful pigeon we know as the Indian Fantail.
