Does someone have more pics of Gaylord and Bearpaw they could send in, maybe Jimmy Cole? R.I.P., friend.

Jim Peterson has several on his blog http://poles2engine.blogspot.com/
There's a link on Buckle's front page: Jim's "All My Days Are Circus Days".

I have several photos of my good friend Gaylord that I can send in.

It will be at the end of October however before I can get to them and send them in. I am up at Josip Marcan's tiger ranch in Ponce De Leon, FL taking care of some of his tigers while he is away doing fair dates.

Regretably I was not able to attend Gaylord's funeral. But I know that he would have understood, since animals always came first with Gaylord.

Josip Marcan asked that the American flag that is out front by the gate be loweded to half mast in respect for Gaylord.

I understand that Gaylord's daughter Rhonda put together a beautiful video tribute to her Father that was shown at the service. Perhaps later this winter those whom were friends of Gaylord and/or unable to be at the funeral can get together for a barbeque and watch the video and swap Gaylord stories.

I've been without a computer for a couple of weeks so I just learned of Gaylord's passing. I worked with him for a year at Arabian Nights back in the early 90's and made it a point to watch his act every night. It never got old and I learned an awful lot from watching him. He was always very kind to me and I know he will be greatly missed.
