Hi, My name is Thom and I live in Ohio, as far south as you can get without being in Kentucky. I'm retired and now have the time to devote to my rollers. I have been in the hobby since I was young but had to leave due to work constraints.I simply was unable to care for my birds properly as I had to be away 24 out of every 72 hours. Now I have the time. I have a few birds coming from Tony for stock and I hope to acquire birds for pumpers locally. I have lurked on the board for a while and just thought it was time to join.

Thom,
I to am on the Ohio River!!! as I look out of my windows I can see the Ohio River and the Ky train trussel. My wife helps me a lot with the birds {Pigeons, and Chickens} and at the time I'm at the Stuart Station in Aberdeen Ohio. I've been in the hobby since 1994. But was visiting roller guys for a few years before I got some for myself. Welcome to the hobby and best of luck!

Thanks for the warm welcome, I appreciate it very much. I will try to use my years for understanding as well as hair loss! I am glad the hobby still is alive and well. Thom Hale
