Frank Curry, creator and producer of the Ronald McDonald Circus was recognized for his sold out engagement at the Bridgestone Arena in Nashville that attracted 86,105 during 7 performances in 4 days. A commemorative medallion was imbedded into the floor slab in the arena's main concourse. The young ladies were not part of the award.

I read a media stoked amazement that a 150 lb. man was steeling 300 lb. manhole covers in NYC. What so amazing about that? Back when I was 150 lbs I’m sure I could have stacked 300 lb manhole covers eye high in a 4’10’ pile. The older I get the greater I was :0)

Just for the record, I sent the photo to Buckles without Frank's knowledge or permission.

A friend who attended a Miranda Lambert concert (who???) took the photo and sent it to me because it was circus related.

The Ronald McDonald Circus in Nashville will be remembered for its outstanding performance AND huge crowds year after year.

Frank sent me a close-up photo of the floor plaque, it is very impressive. The photo with the ladies doesn't show the intricate details of the medallion's inscription and graphics.

I share Frank's note to me :

HIYA MIKE !

The"tribute" was presented in 1999.

The 86,105 PAID attendance was in my
last year, 2002.

Thank you very much for your question and
particularly for your suspected involvement
in the photo landing on "dear" and "wonderful"
