Buckles Blog: From Chic Silber

Tuesday, March 03, 2015

This was yesterday's chosen wardrobe, he left us in the style he was accustomed.

Chic Silber said...: Nobody was ever more comfortable

on a horse or in the ring as John

He really had done it all (RIP); 03 March, 2015 10:06
Chic Silber said...: When John was handed the nearly

unmanageable "Circus Williams"

that became the "Red Show" with

many of the folks unwilling to

speak English although they could

He handled it all with the same

calming style & grace he always

portrayed throughout his career

Although I had met the Herriotts

earlier it was during his time

as "Performance Director" I was

able to get to know him better

& gain the greatest admiration

& respect for him & his talents; 03 March, 2015 10:22
Buckles said...: Johnny was once at a heated meeting that concluded with Irvin Feld stating..."and another thing, that buddy of yours down at Circus World is a pain in the ass too!"; 03 March, 2015 10:40
Chic Silber said...: I rather have been disparaged by

Irvin than liked by his son as

at least there was real concern

& true feelings shown; 03 March, 2015 10:47

from Cindy but this was perfect; 04 March, 2015 10:19
