Richard Brindle

My name is Richard Dickie Brindle, an 80-year-old retired scaffolder. For over 40 years, I have raced pigeons alongside my sons Rick and Bill. Recently, I came down with a cold and my doctor advised me to give up caring for the pigeons for health reasons. While sitting at home with not much to do, I decided to write about the best pigeon we have ever owned. As I started writing, I realized the best way to tell her story would be from her perspective—to see through her eyes and feel what she felt in her own mind.
