3045735254_2b5e16de71, originally uploaded by bucklesw1. Hi again Buckles, I just got the OK to pass this on to you. Please read the posts below and let the blog know that Henry is ailing and will not be posting for a while. I don't know how I could say it any better than Henry did in his own words, so if you want to cut and paste his reply that is fine. It is always so hard to get this kind of news and I am sure Henry will appreciate any well wishes and support at this time. Thanks Buckles... I just want to cry. Hi Ron, Had a look at Buckles Blog and replied but had a look just know and my answer didn come thru. So here it goes and then you can put it on his blog.. As you told them I live 1000km north of Christchurch on the North Island and we didn feel anything here. But nice to know that I have friends all over the world who care and I am very grateful for that. Three weeks ago I discover that I had a cancers tumor in my colon and 12 days ago I had a operation where the removed 3/4 of my colon. Waiting know for the lab results to find out if I need chemotherapies or not. Hopefully I am lucky and the doctor got it all the first time. Got out of the hospital 3 days ago and feel very week. Lost 11kg and look like I am 80 years old. Ok my friend, get back to you again when I feel stronger, reading is ok but writing takes the energy out of me. Henry

!cid_4124E9FE-FE60-489C-B446-D8EB7B8B766B@hsd1_fl_comcast_net, originally uploaded by bucklesw1. Buckles, I was just given a stack of photos by showfolk Charlotte Hazen. Hal and Charlotte toured with TOBY TYLER CIRCUS and with GREAT AMERICAN CIRCUS. In checking my files, I only find a few photos that have appeared on your blog of Toby Tyler. I would like to send photos of Toby Tyler over the next few weeks. This series is dedicated to the memory of Hal Hazen who worked in the band and in the office of circuses and to Charlotte Hazen who worked in various capacities including office manager of Great American. Both of these wonderful people were true circus showfolks. The photos appear to start in winter quarters. Thanks, Pete Rosa "I think these pictures should date 1986." Buckles

Scan13095, originally uploaded by bucklesw1. Hello Buckles, The fine people of Hugo are hard at work making the Circus City Museum and Park a reality. The original plan was to renovate the house which stands on one of the lots for the museum. The board has now decided to dismantle it and have purpose-built buildings, per the attached drawing. As a fund-raiser, the Museum will be holding its first annual “International Red Nose Café” night in Hugo. The plan is to serve dishes from around the world that are favorites of circus people, particularly if the recipe has a story or special significance to it. We would be very grateful if you would post this. Anyone wishing to submit a recipe, (and please include the story behind it), can send them by email to: jroyal@kellymillercircus.com, or the old-fashioned way to P O Box 829 Hugo Ok 74743 Thanks for keeping us in touch and entertained daily. Jim Royal

In response to Ol Whitey I offer The Martin Beck Theater on West 45th Street opened in 1924 by Beck who lived there in an opulent apartment adjacent to the upper lobby until his death in 1940 His estate sold it to James Binger (3M family heir) in 1958 who established Jujamcyn Theaters named for his 3 children (Judith James Cynthia) In June of 2003 the name was changed to Al Hirshfeld in honor of the famous N Y Times caricaturist who had died in January of that year just shy of 100 (my very favorite N Y theater) Chic

NY State Fair #1 (From Don Kowell)

DSC06496, originally uploaded by bucklesw1. Buckles, I had several emails from your readers asking to see a few more shots from our display here at this years NY State Fair. These photos feature a 3/4" scale model circus built by the late Wallace Bushey from Syracuse NY, now exhibited and restored by his son Jim Bushey. This show is based on typical shows of the 1920's. Mr Bushey built this circus between 1950 and 1970. Most unique is the fact that everything is prototype and packs in the wagons. The detail is fantastic and its all scratch built. This is one of 15 circus displays in our exhibit hall. Enjoy, Don Kowell
