To Dave Price

From John Herriott #1



Just returned from from the gathering at Beef Bradys, during which time Johnny mentioned that he and Mary Ruth had recently celebrated their 59th wedding anniversary.
I remember it well, late in 1954 Fred Logan and I left Hugo with six elephants to join King Bros. Circus and arrived the day after John and Burt Pettus had taken the shows elephants away  to play the Texas Shrine dates.
At that point I had never met John but as the show neared Ft. Worth he showed up on the lot and whisked away this beautiful young cowgirl.
The rest is History.

Great News!



Rather than use this Paul Gutheil Thanksgiving photo as intended I will take this opportunity to announce that my health has improved to a point where my wife and daughter have agreed to release me from House Arrest.
I have decided to make my reappearance at the local hot spot (Beef O'Bradys) at noon today. John Herriott and company are coming up from Sarasota, likewise Jim Elliott from Riverview while Chic and others say they will try to make it.
Anyone else in the area drop by and I'll buy you a beer!
