Subject: Love Your Site

My partner has been racing pigeons all his life, as have his parents. Myself I don't care for the things, but I do appreciate his love for them. At the moment I am at college doing A Levels. As part of this I had to create a web site and evaluate it against others. After taking a look at your site, I realize I have a long way to go, but I just thought I'd take this opportunity to let you know how lovely yours is.

Hey Larry,

I was floating around and found your site. I found it to be a breath of fresh air among all the other sites! It was a joy to read and am looking forward to seeing other installments that are added.

Hi,

I just surfed in, but what a lovely website.

Larry,

My congratulations to you because of the effort and time which you have put into your web site for us fanciers to visit. Occasionally, one finds a site on pigeons which gives one great enjoyment and pleasure because of its content. Your site, in my opinion, is one of these because you have added an extra dimension to the normal pigeon site...which has given it a unique touch, I believe. The awards which you have received because of your efforts are most justified.

WELL DONE. It's a beauty.

Hi, Larry,

Under "Articles" I found your write-up on keeping the sport one of pleasure to be right on the mark! Every day people are lost from our ranks due to the "win at all cost philosophy" and pursuit of the dollar which goes hand in hand with the philosophy.

Beware of many of the futurities as it has been my experience over the last few years that, when the dollar rears its head, small flyers tend to have birds lost very readily where money in large sums becomes involved. The two you mention are likely several of the best going. I love the concept of the Alberta Classic.

Nice web site, keep up the excellent work.

Hi Larry,

Forgot to mention you have a beautiful site. Love the format - it's quite unique. The digital rendition of the pigeon paintings is super. Send my compliments to your daughter Andrea. She does beautiful, functional and unique work. It's a pleasure to visit sites that are not cluttered and are easy to navigate.

By the way I am a high school vice principal a year from retirement. I know Bob Percival and I think he mentioned you are a retired educator.

Regards,

We won the Platinum Loft Award without even applying for it! See Bob Percival's words below:

"Congratulations.

We are pleased to advise that after reviewing your site once again. The awards committee has upgraded it from gold to platinum."

Hi, Andrea,

I have to say that I love your dad's website and visit it frequently to read some great articles from a fancier who really knows his stuff, a real pigeon website!!

Best Regards,

Here's what Bob at Sunset Loft wrote when my Web mistress submitted my site for the Golden Loft Award (we won, by the way!).

Hello Andrea,

My name is Bob, known to many in the great sport as "Sunset." I am the originator of the Gold Loft Award. I cannot speak for the other Judges and will wait to hear from them. I just want to say that I think you have created a very nice site for your dad.

Wishing you the best,
Bob
