JOHN CROWDER

[Guest lenwadebob]

The pigeon in my Avatar is a son from a pair of the original 6 Vandies I bought from John in 1984 and was the best pigeon I have ever owned, winning every year throughout his racing career up until the age of 9 when he won 1st club 9th Fed Berwick. He lived until he was 18yo and produced winners until he was 14yo. I wish I had a shed full like him now A one in a million pigeon!!
