Dedication

PFU™ VERY BOOK should be dedicated to somebody, AA therefore, why not a book on pigeons?

: Yet, as I ponder over my list of friends, I def find so many endeared to me by that “good comradeship” which is so universal among fanciers, that I hesitate to select any particular one, for fear the others might feel hurt. Therefore after much deliberation I have decided to select a man who is not only a blood relation to every fancier in the world, but was in fact the first fancier, and the first man to test a Homer pigeon.
