A fine afternoon!

Barbara and I just returned from Carol and Bill Hall's annual luncheon at the Hilton Longboat Key Beachfront Hotel.
As always a good turnout, off the top of my head I can mention Sue and Rudy, Peggy Mills, Elvin Bale, Adam Hill, Ada Smiega, Bello and Jenny, the Smirnovs, Hugo Zacchini, Siegrid, Tina and Mark Oliver Gebel, the Ingrassias, the Rikers, the Orrs, Ernest Albrecht and a bunch more that will come to mind as soon as I post this.
A good time was had by all.

Buckles -
Would love to see you do a 'What Are They Up to Now?' on a lot of the folks from the luncheon. Elvin Bale, Hugo, Sue & Rudy and Sigrid, Tina and Mark-Oliver.

All my best,

I don't live in Sarasota and with the exception of Paul Ingrassia'a winter estate, I've never been to the home of any of yesterday's attendees or even know their exact location.
In regard to the circus people that attended yesterday's event, all had managed to reach the top in their particular field and I feel sure are enjoying comfortable retirement.
As opposed to that scurrilous Bobby Gibbs who would say, "I don't know why you Sarasota people are so happy and surprised to meet at public events when you see each other each week in the Unemployment line!"

Is this the same Bill Hall who was an agent for the Bowers in Pennsylvania?

I saw Siegrid & Mark Oliver

while shopping last week and

I was happy to see that she

looked incredibly the same as

she did when they all came over

in 1969 as part of our new Red

Show (otherwise known as Circus

Williams) absolutely georgeous

Elvin is John Pugh's assistant on

the "Beatty" show (now known as

"Cole Bros Circus Of The Stars")

and his "World's Largest Cannon"

is also a featured attraction

And Elvin's "World's Largest Cannon" still goes off.
