R. Miller and D. R. told him your son is manager for the day. Well I was on cloud nine.<br />David I wish we could turn back the clock all the circus people we both have met though the years.<br />And you got to meet and interview John Ringling North.<br />I would have liked to have met Aet Concello, a true genius of the circus world.<br />Harry in TexasHarry Kingstonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13362053177536772325noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36845215.post-11507010122062070912014-06-19T16:42:01.900-07:002014-06-19T16:42:01.900-07:00That's probably as severe as it gets.
