Nice time visiting with Jimmy James who said he had dropped 100 pounds recently. Wish I could say the same.

Please excuse me for being clueless, but is this the Clown - Jimmy James?

Not to mention, noted Circus Ringmaster and Announcer.

How wonderful to see Jimmy's Picture, and that he has dropped the weight! He looks great here. I'm glad to hear he is out and about and visiting with with other circus greats. He had just disappeared from the scene! A true master of his two great trades, clowning and "that voice" that commanded attention and gave such dignity to his Ringmaster position! Like you and the Colonel, a man who knows true circus!

Buckles,
Dec three, great for me! All those photos of so many friends we haven't seen for way too long: Dick (America's favorite dog catcher) Kohlreiser, Larry ("If it's wild I work it." Allen Dean,Roy & Cindy, Al & Joyce (We did have a great visit in NY in Aug., so great in fact we never got out to lunch, and wonder of wonderful people JIMMY JAMES, who's
making me look bad...I've only lost 23lbs..Jimmy you're an inspiration. Of the myriad of great memories Jimmy has afforded me over the year one I treasure the most is his introduction of the CBCB elephants walking longmount, "EXPERIENCE AN EARTHQUAKE..."
Hope to see as many of you great folks as humanly possible when Diane and I are "down among the sheltering palms" before, during and after the 2008 CFA convention.

Take in some Circus...it's good for you!
