Charles Jonas called me during his young bird season to let me know how the health of his birds was holding up since this was the first season he was using our products. He races in the San Antonio Limited RPC where they fly 7 A races and 7 B races in October, November and December.  He told me that the young bird sickness in his club is very predictable and was a concern that he was trying to address with as little medication as possible.

In November, I was surprised (and somewhat skeptical) of an email I received from the marketing agency that represents Apple.

We had another great year visiting with friends and seeing all the beautiful pigeons at the National Young Bird Show in Louisville last weekend.
