Jeanette and Tony Alexis, the spaghetti entree is a funny piece of business, nice folks. We first met on Louis Knie Jr's circus in Austria.

And it went on and on and on. Even news critic made a point of it. I was surprised Pedro did not cut it in half after the dress rehearsal. So be it.

I should have realized that their entree could not compete with the Tide gag or the Atomic Hair Grower gag. But as Harry Ross use to say on Uncle Sid's "no es mi pollo"!

Meow. Only stating the facts. When in Rome do as the Romans do. I, along with the rest of the audience were very pleased when this long drawn out supposed to e funny ended. I believe you would find that Otto Griebling along with Ernie Burch, Gene Lewis,, Mother Dullem, plus a host of others now and then including the new clown sensations in our American style who are currently with Vasquez and previously with RBBB, Kelly Miller, would not appreciate your snide humour. Again the professional well respectd critic along with the scribe critic from Circ8us Report had thye same setiments. That you liked those people personally is not a criteria for professional judgement.When did you see a circus as of late? I would suggest that this clown entree will not be gracing our shores as of late. Also old pro Chucko in his original brief appearances was enjoyable and funny. I am pleased that at my late age in this life I have excellent recognition and in fact recall seeing your show and the courtesly you gave me for parking for a day or so. So be it. johnny

John,
I can still remember watching Otto on the Ringling show when he warmed up the audience with his pie pans, great stuff; and remember Blinko and Maran with their entertaining Baloon-a-rama on Paul Kaye's dates, so no disrespect of these pros intended. I too remember you joining us in Iowa for the day, and you are most welcome at our house in Kansas, and I promise I will not dish up spaghetti. And if your girls' ever need a place to layover in Kansas, they would be most welcome also, along with the others we have hosted over the years. I do appreciate your historical recollections. Sincerely,
Erik
