Memories are one of the most important adventures of our lives. Without those, thoughts of our past would not be complete. I wanted to share here my memories of a family
of brothers that not only loved their pigeons but they lived for their pigeons. I am talking about the Janssen Bros of Arendonk Belgium. They were simple people that lived
their dream to the fullest - always talking about pigeons, racing each week at the nearby club - smiling and telling the same old stories of the past with a twist in the facts. But
everyone was always eager to listen.
During all my trips to Belgium, sometimes several a year, I always visited my friends in Arendonk where I was met with a smile and a bottle of lime soda which took a few
hours to drink. When I would enter their home, Louis always remembered me by saying "Ganus" then greeted me with a soft smile. I will always remember this for the rest of
my life. These are the memories that bring a smile to my face and the thoughts of missing the true fanciers that made pigeon racing what we have today.
