Dear Mark and Dick Evans,
Over a number of years I have spent thousands of dollars on high pedigreed birds that would be competitive for me in a tough combine. It was finally in 2006 that my luck changed completely for the better.
I was made aware of the M & D Evans Gaby birds through an article written by John Marles of Canada. It was then that I knew I had to try them. I acquired four pairs of young birds. I bred them and flew their offspring. For the first time in my pigeon career I not only was competitive, garnering numerous diplomas, but one of my M & D Evans Gaby birds captured third place as the Outstanding Young Bird of the Lehigh Mountain Combine.
I am looking forward to the 2008 race season with great anticipation.

Dear Mark and Dick Evans,
I'm currently flying with the Borden Racing Pigeon Club which
consists of 20 paid members which I also belong to the Up North Combine, which
has 180 paid members with bounders of 80km by 120km. I have never experienced as
many birds on a drop as I have this year with the Evans birds. In previous
years, I would loose a lot of pigeons from the long distance races. However,
with the Evans birds, the returns are phenomenal even in the last leg of races.
I'm currently winning 5 club races and 1st and 2nd U.N.C. North Bay Race. Thanks
to the Evans family that was introduced by John Marles (Sylvan Loft). I was
overwhelmed with excitement, race after race knowing that I'm now beating top
fliers in our strong combine. The Evans birds showed that they can be raced week
after week without any rest, and still remain extremely competitive. I noticed
that the Mark and Dick Evans pigeons showed no weakness in their health and
hardly any losses no matter how hard the race was. Thank you very much, John for
setting me up with these world class pigeons. I was telling my wife Lucy, that
before I pass away, the only thing I ever wanted was to obtain world class
pigeons and be very competitive. Through my good friends John Marles and Joe
Ferreira's guidance, I was able to become a well respected pigeon flier
regarding my results. I'm very happy with these new Mark & Dick Evans Pigeons,
and many thanks goes to John Marles that made my dream come true and made it
happen for me.

Dear Mark and Dick Evans,
Thanks to a very good friend of mine, John Marles (Sylvan lofts), we were able to purchase some of your birds in 2003. The first year I started flying them I saw my race results move upwards immediately by winning champion bird in the largest combine in Canada 3rd average speed and 6th overall loft points. I have been flying since 1982 a small team flyer. The first year I bred from only two pairs of Myrtle loft birds, winning 5/8 races in 2004. The same results with the birds crossed and pure from Myrtle lofts and performing outstanding results. I feel that Myrtle lofts have some of the best birds in the world if not the best. A special thanks to John Marles for obtaining these birds.

I just wanted to email you to tell you how happy I am with the birds I received from you. Since introducing your birds to my loft, I have observed quite a dramatic improvement in my race results; in particular more consistency between old and youngbird series. The superior quality of the Vandenabeele’s you sent to Canada is apparent the first time one of your is handled; amazing soft and supple feathers. I have seen a far higher percentage of top racers than what I have found with any other pigeons I have purchased in Canada or the United States. Your pigeons truly have made a very positive impact in my racing and breeding results. I am breeding winners generations away from the originally purchased stock. I would like to thank you for supplying such high quality pigeons and look forward to flying them in the future with even more success.
Sincerely,
Jeff Wilbur
