NEW YOUNG PROMOTER IN LOUISIANA

Bryan Chaisson was speaking with Gene Yoes at their club meeting recently. Bryan’s son, John, wanted to do a school project on racing pigeons. Bryan wondered where he could get some handouts for the project. Gene referred Bryan to the AU national office.

John worked hard on the project and the whole family became excited about it.
With the materials from the AU, he put together an attractive tabletop display, complete with a stand up backboard with pictures. Samples of items used in the hobby were on the table, along with the flyers and magazines.

John is flying with his dad’s club, the Lake Charles Invitational, this year. He’s off to a great start with promotion! And, John and his dad found out that Mom knew more about pigeons than they thought. She does not participate with the pigeons, until race day, when she comes out to watch. She assisted the project by typing the report and asking great questions, to which she had most of the answers. John asked his mom how she knew so much about the pigeons when she is not around them. Bryan shared her reply, “Well, when you and your Dad are talking, if it is not about LSU football, it is the darn Pigeons!” He thought that was a good answer.
