Hi Thomas and Nikolaas !
Back home from the trip and wanted to send you a short note and thank you again for meeting with me and showing me around.
You have a great business and wonderful facilities with a great staff of people. As the owner of two businesses here in the USA , I know how important is is to have good people working for you.
Thanks again for all the super pigeons I have purchased on PIPA, and I will be watching the Pieter Veenstra auction closely.
Have a great week, and I hope to hear from you soon.
Also wanted to let you know everyone was very happy with the books you signed for them !

To the entire PIPA team:
From the sunny Marbella, I wish to congratulate you for the excellent work produced every day.
It was fantastic to follow the auctions on my iPad. If there was a world series of racing pigeon auctions, PIPA would definitely win it!
Kindest regards,
Hans Eijerkamp
Hi Nik,
How is everything going with you? I am pleased to inform you that a youngster bred from son Gilbert won recently 1st prize in a very competitive race in Shanghai for me. I bought the 2010 pigeon from Pipa auction and it was his first breeding. It is a strong indication that Pipa's quality control program works well and Pipa only sells first class quality pigeons. Thanks Nik.

Hello Nicolaas,
a stunning announcement about this book
You know exactly how to touch the strings in order to point out something very important and encourage people to buy something from this now world famous pedigree.
As a businessman I can especially appreciate how you know how to propel a company to unprecedented heights.
I am also very happy and proud to be able to say that we have the best lines of this pedigree.
Today Henk, Evert Jan and myself have seen magnificent pigeons bred out the children of the Prins and out the Best Freddy (Freddy x Olivia).
Jewels from this pedigree will also be included in our upcoming auction with PIPA.
I eagerly await the book arriving next week.
Greetings to the entire PIPA team.
Kindest regards,
Hans Eijerkamp
Dear friends,
Congratulations of the last Jewels of The Sky auction!
I'm shocked when looking at the pigeons auctioned on it. It is a real icing on the cake!
Super!!!

Dear Nikolaas,
Thank you so much for your reply and your kind offer to post our news in your world best pigeon website. The success story of your website should be a case study for Harvard business school. I'll arrange for the article and some good pictures.
Regarding your stay in Thailand, I did very little for you and Jana and do not deserve all your expressed appreciation. I just hope to be able to see you both again in Bangkok; may be with a little Nikolaas this time.
Again, thanks for your offer but the organizer is prepared to spend some money on posting a link to our website on your web. It's your business and we understand that.
Regards,
Sornthep
Dear friend,
I would like to say Thank You !!
Being able to watch the live streaming of the Auction today was a Great experience. This allows many people around the world to be part of the history and to actually be a part of the current world wide racing pigeon sport. I hope you consider this only the beginning.
Best Regards

Hi Nikolaas,
Attached is a photo of my 83-year old Mum watching the Pros Roosen sale on PIPA. She knows nothing about pigeons but found it really interesting. She was amazed at the prices. It shows PIPA is not just for pigeon fanciers but for everyone!

Hello Nikolaas,
It’s only to say that I very much like your speech at the PIPA party.

Hello,
Just wanted to say many thanks for your reporting of racing events.
The Barcelona coverage was excellent and much better than anything attempted in this country.
Well done PIPA.
John Richardson
Dear friend,
Your speech at the party was very good.
You are exactly Steven Jobs in the pigeon world.
I wish to express my gratitude for meeting you.

On the last day of my visit, I nearly lost my passport. Probably you have heard the story.
When Erik, PIPA staff (I did not get his family name), drove me to Joost DeSmeyter.
On our way, we stopped in a motor way restaurant on the highway for coffee. I forgot to take
my bag when we left the restaurant. I did not realize it before we arrived at Joost. When Erik and Joost
learned this, they were very helpful. While Erik drove back to the restaurant, Joost looked for the
phone number of the restaurant from the internet and called the restaurant to find out if my bag
was still there. Through a great deal of efforts, we found out that the restaurant had got hold of the bag.
Finally Erik brought my bag back to me and luckily I got everything back. If I had lost my bag with
my passport and other important item, I would have been in extremely difficult position. I am really grateful
to the help from Erik and Joost, for which please pass on my great appreciation.
Best regards,
Gordon Chiu
Hi Nigel.
This is a most unexpected and very generous offer from PIPA and the Gyselbrecht Lofts. I had rated that pigeon as the best of my purchases and was naturally very disappointed to receive the news that he had died.
Would you please pass on my immense appreciation to those involved with this great kindness, and my appreciation also to you for taking the initiative and undertaking these discussions.
Your involvement with fanciers of Australia and PIPA is certainly creating some great relationships with International, flyers and bring pigeons of unprecedented quality to this country.
Kind Regards
Barry Ward
Hello, Mr. Gyselbrecht !
Congratulations on your accomplishments. Your pigeons and their results mean everything. You are an example of the pigeon world, especially for a beginner like me.
I wish you continued success.
Sincerely,
Ionel Mihut
Hi Nikolaas,

Dear Nikolaas and Thomas,
First thanks for the opportunity to put the first racing pigeons with portuguese ring in public auction in your prestigious and world renowned site!
Who knows if it will be the first step toward international recognition of the hight value of the racing Portuguese pigeons!
I don't know if the auction was in line with your expectations, but I think it was a good auction.
Secondly, thanks to all fanciers who bid on the pigeons and read our story in pigeon sport. Thanks also for the many mails!
Tomorrow I will send to you the pedigrees and the property cards.
Kind regards,
Paulo Campos
