Contact John LaMantia Cell 760-519-5597 12/10/09   This win is dedicated to my friend Blackie Weinel. "...it's only a pigeon race". Thank you to Omer Van Welleghem for mating your fine birds to Blackie Weinels' Imbrecth family. Who would have thought that when that mating was prepared, Ken Wetzel and Hillhaven Loft would put together back to back distance wins. The winner of Ravendale was born a late hatch and I had to put an old band on his leg, he is an '05 yearling. Herlong race station is a 500 mile race for North San Diego County. The Combine Winner is Ken Wetzel of the Palomar Club. The Sire of the bird that won is from Omer Van Welleghem of Canada. The Sires' family goes back to Van de Veldes. Omer also crossed that family from Van de Veldes with birds from Imbrecht via Blackie Weinel. Click my On-Line-Catalogue to get more info on this family. Here is an interesting story. I put 2 cocks in a young bird auction race that is out of my Omer Van Welleghem breeder cock. One went to Andy Reagan AND one went to Ken Wetzel. Both gentleman were saying good things about the birds throughout YB racing. The day of the race comes and Ken tells me that he lost the young cock he was flying of mine. Andy had his bird return to the loft. To bad Mr.Wetzel, I was pleased to know that you enjoyed flying that bird. Did that bird ever make it home at any time after that day of the race?? One more quick line about the success of my family of Omer Van Welleghem Birds. Bill Fullmer of the Palomar club gave me a hen to mate to my Omer Van Welleghem Cock. I gave Bill a late round youngster from that mating, a mealy hen. Bill also has enjoyed flying that bird and held it back from the distance races. His hen accumulated some combine points before he stopped flying it. "Omer you got some fine birds." (5/13) DON'T HESITATE AND DON'T THINK TO HARD. To those flyers that purchased birds at Pigeons of Hillhaven in 2009, I am hoping for your success and happiness when old birds get on the adgenda. 10/5/09 My family of Imbrecht pigeons have a unique history. It all started with a well known man, Admiral " Blackie " Weinel. It all came together with a bird I purchased at an auction that took place at the San Diego Club house. This is when I aquired a bird sent to the auction from Omer Van Welleghem. The pedigree showed that the mother of this bird I just purchased was from Blackie Weinel. The background is from LaFou and Old Red bloodlines. | Catalog of Pictures | | Return Home | The Loft | On-Line Catalog | Great Links | FAQ Page | Contact Us | |
