A Message From Our Founders

    




  Dear Visitors to the United Spanish Timbrado Fanciers Web Site:
 
  We wish to extend our deepest gratitude to our Founding President,
  Mrs. Patricia Last, to acknowledge all of her tireless work and
  dedication she provided all of us in the Founding of the United
  Spanish Timbrado Fanciers, Inc. While we may have not seen eye
  to eye on some issues and were impossible at meeting deadlines,
  without her vision and insight, we would not have the foundation 
  which we continue to build upon today. As humans we can
  sometimes lose sight of our vision or let ourselves fall victim to
  unnecessary criticism but all that is necessary for us to gain
  clarity of our mission is to look back from time to time to the words
  she most eloquently penned in her Welcoming Message to be
  reminded of the very reasons why we all began upon this Journey.
  For these reasons and so many more we will be eternally grateful.

  Yours in the Fancy,

  Patricia Roberts

“Whether as breeders, striving for excellence in
 producing consistently high scoring competitive birds,
 or as seekers of the cheerful companion that 
 brightens our lives with his beautiful song, one thing 
 is clear: we need a united force, which has only the 
 best interest of this unique and wonderful variety in 
 mind. Especially in the United States and the Ameri-
 cas, we need a venue for the respectful exchange of 
 information, new ideas, and the promotion of the 
 Spanish Timbrado. If we are to grow and thrive, we
 must set aside politics and personal issues and put
 the Spanish Timbrado Fancy first!” 

 PATRICIA LAST, USTF Founding President
