To Jimmy Hall


This is my mother's grave site at Showman's Rest at Mt. Olivet Cemetary in Hugo, Oklahoma.
My father's is similar with the inscription "A-1 Elephant Trainer at Rest". This came from a volume of Shakespeare given to my father by Lee Powell (The Lone Ranger) who had written inside "To Bill Woodcock A-1 Elephant Trainer".

My folks are next to each other and mine and Barbara's tombstone is situated a fair distance behind and to the left.
That's why we were in such a hurry to stake a claim. Everybody is dying to get in there.

I have told this before but....Buckles when asked at CHS convention in Baltimore last year how he and Barbara, after death, would be able to get to Hugo family grave. The always fast on the draw Buckles said...

" I will most likely be bourn on the wings of angels. Barabara will most likely have to come over on Roy Wells truck.

Just another reason that I call Buckles "a living circus treasure."
