ROLLER MAN???? In todays world of roller pigeons, there are only a few guys that meet your criterias of a true roller man.
joe emberton
juan navarro
darik mcgee (hate to see him go)
rayvon hall
keith london
There are many other guys who may consider themselves to be a true roller man, but not all are as well rounded in the hobbie as I have personally witnessed with those that I have listed above.

Don't get me wrong guys..there are alot of good guys out there who raise rollers. However, everyone can not be called roller men based on keith"s criterias.

Sal,
I knew that I would miss some obvious candidates. I am probably too much of an opinionated butt-wipe to be considered, but I appreciate it.
Keith - I think this was a great post. It made us think of the many unsung people in our midst that are frequently over looked. There are some serious newcomers that are quickly coming on......like Spanky for one. And Bobby (the man who started the new magazine)There will be many over looked.
