| Hector, I never knew him personally but I did talk on the phone with him and saw him at my local feed store when I was a teenager. He was friends with the daughter of the owner of the feed store and they flew rollers from a loft they kept at that store back in the 70's and 80's. My first Pensom rollers were from Bob and I got them because I knew the owner of the feed store and her daughter told me about Bob and his birds and pulled some strings for me. That was in 1974. They were 'red headed hen' and '514' blood and the spin was fast and deep. The '514' stuff wasn't as frequent as the 'red headed' hen stuff but was deeper on average. I eventually bred them all together and had them until I got married in 1987. When I got married I gave my lofts and birds to a neighbor who eventually moved and I lost track of him. I've thought of those first birds many times over the years and didn't really realize what I had until I got back into birds in 1993-94. I'm happy with what I have now but still compare everything to those original birds from Bob Scott and wish I still had a few from the '514' and 'red headed hen' line to play with. Good luck with your website! Russ |
