Mark, The two that I knew had them are no longer in rollers. Ya know Rick grew up hanging around Jerry Higgins in California. I would believe he basically had whatever Jerry Higgins had. I think. I will search around and see if I can find someone who still has them.

Nick, Rick and I grew up in Wilmington CA. He didn't start flying Jerry's birds and Tim Decker birds till he joined the Air Force (after a stint in the Army) and was stationed at March Air Force Base in Riverside CA. When we grew up as kids we were flying Bob Scott's birds. From what Rick told me, those birds went to Joe Bowers who also lived in Wilmington at the time, when he went into the Army. When he got redeployed to Ark. (after MAFB) he took those 2 families with him and flew them from his place outside of Little Rock. Mark

We pulled it off. Had a very nice time and literlly spent it in the clouds. Kenny Henderson grilled some bief that was awsome. Everybody brought something from thier homes that was delicious. It was pretty well decided by all that a potluck will be the way to go. Some good, good stuff. Bill Roy judged the birds and R.K. Pair's bird was the winner. In fact his birds were first, third, and forth. Randy Wilson was our auctioneer and a good deal of money was generated for the club; enough that I will open a bank account for the club. Those in attendance: Myrl Marrs - Arkansas
Jerry Holder - Arkansas
Myself - Arkansas
Mike Allen - Arkansas
Sandie Allen - Arkansas
Montana Allen - Arkansas
Kenny Henderson - Arkansas
Ben Winkelman - Oklahoma
Bill Roy - Missouri
Ferrell Bussing - Oklahoma
June Bussing - Oklahoma
Marcus Bussing - Oklahoma
Terry McDevitt - Oklahoma
R.K. Pair - Oklahoma
Eldon Cheney - Missouri
Bob Anderson - Oklahoma
Randy Wilson - Oklahoma
Denny (I forgot his last name) - Oklahoma
Tommy Ragland - Oklahoma We owe a lot of gratitude to the Oklahoma guys from the Oklahoma Performing Roller Association. Bill Roy coming from Missouri and judging. Eldon Cheney coming driving down from St. Louis and that says a lot about why he is a NBRC Hall of Fame member. We are a very small club and it was them that made the potluck big. I want to give June Bussing, Sandie Allen, and Kenny Henderson a special thank you. The two ladies looked after us and cleaned the place up and Kenny was the grill manager. I also want to make special mention of the NBRC Vice President Don Sutton who donated a pair of George Mason birds for the auction. In the clouds
Sandie Allen
June Bussing
Myrl Marrs; Mike Allen; and Ben Winkelman
