Around the last time I saw Tommy in his King Tusk truck, this gentleman was in attendance. I regret not meeting him, as the Feld concentration camp atmosphere oppressed visiting. It could be said their operations ended RB's circus backyard.

Roger,
I agree on Ringling's not visiting and it sucks but it could have been insurance problems.
Had a great visit on the red unit thanks to Rudi and Sue Lintz who paved the way for this fan.
I knew Jimmy Silverlake,Timberlake, from his Fisher Bros days and he brought King Tusk to my town and in my front yard and what a show it was.
I was taking photos in the back yard and what looks I got from them but Jimmy told him he is a friend of mine and no trouble at all.
It took me 6 months to get permission on the Gold to come back stage and they knew I was coming and by name.
But I had trouble with the local building folks and I got by that but hell you can not win for loosing with them.
