Kelly Miller is still the bigger print on trucks and back drop and the name John Ringling NorthII is the man's actual name. I think the Felds should worry more about Carson & Barnes using the phrase "Greatest Show on Earth' in their radio ads heard on the Paris radio station!

With all due repect to "Uncle George"...it's cease and desist, not desease and more importantly,
Noe Espanas brother is IVAN not
Yvonne.

On another note, how very sad that the state of Connecticut, home of Barnum, Commerford and other luminaries is more worried about a few elephants in the state than it is about child abuse, the elderly,
conditions of their bridges and roads etc, etc. I keep saying on so many different counts: This world is going to hell in a handbasket...at least let me watch a good old fashioned circus on the way.
