Circus Model Builders #1

Scan12780, originally uploaded by bucklesw1. I have been invited to attend this afternoon's Circus Model Builders Banquet at the Ringling Museum to receive an Honorary Membership Award, as my father had at Terrell Jacobs Farm in Bunker Hill, Indiana almost 70 years ago. My guest will be grand daughter Kathleen since we will later attend a performance of the Sailor Circus, and the off chance that she might see her confidantes and associates Veronica and Bree. The following pictures have been cropped from various LCW covers. The one above from a 1999 issue, was taken five years earlier by Dick Townley at a 1994 gathering in the Meadowlands when I was with the Ringling Show. My haggard appearance confirms this.
