| National Call Breeders of America was formed in 1986 by Ed Cline of Dalton, GA. The club was formed to encourage increased exhibition of Call ducks by offering club awards and a Master Breeder program. When the club was formed there were very few Calls shown in the South and other areas of the country and Calls received little attention in shows even where a few were shown. In the 2002 American Bantam Association yearbook, Call ducks were fifth in popularity, following closely behind Wyandottes, Cochins and Rocks. |

| ~Claude McAllister ~ It is with great sadness and empty hearts that we report that Claude McAllister lost his brave battle with ALS (Lou Gehrig’s disease) on Friday, March 14th. A Memorial Service will be held on March 27th at 4:00 PM at the First Presbyterian Church in Wilmington, North Carolina. Claude’s passing will leave an empty void in many people that knew him well. Claude McAllister has been an avid and enthusiastic supporter of the National Call Breeders of America and the International Waterfowl Breeders of America. There was always a particular soft spot in Claude’s heart for the young poultry enthusiasts and he was always there to extend a helping hand to promote the NCBA and the IWBA. There is a long, countless list of other poultry people whose lives he touched in such a positive way. We will be working on a fitting tribute to the varied and interesting life of Claude McAllister to try to capture our appreciation to this fine and gracious Southern gentleman. |
