I am happy to report that the Kelly Miller Circus cookhouse is being admirably by Myrna Silverlake! She is doing a great job and we are very happy to have her here feeding all of us!

How is Myrna Silverlake related to Mel Silverlake? Does anybody know what Mel Silverlake is upto?

Myrna is Mel's sister.
Melvin is driving a tanker semi and lives in Kingsley, Kansas. He says he is going to retire in two years ( from truck driving) and take another circus out. I told him, Please don't ask for any money, as the check for the last venture is STILL IN THE MAIL.

To dear friend Jim Elliot. I am surprised that you, on this public Blog, would declare that you are a "LIVE ONE". I am sure alot of wanna be Cirkeeze and Carnies are right now scrambling to get you E mail or phone No. Would you also have been an investor in the big Bobby Gibbs Ranch down in Mission, Tex.?.

Jim Z., Always wondered what people would think driving down a dark highway and see a vacant field with people watching an old western movie on the side of a truck at 10:30 at night.
It was kind of nice if the mosquitos didn't carry you off.

What a great blog! Thanks for sharing. I'm trying to track down some info on a great aunt named Bernice Pea aka Billy Silverlake. She was part of the Flying Silverlakes that performed with Pagel's Circus. Any info would be great!
