I was looking thru my Big Apple stuff and realized that
the vast majority came from Paul Gutheil, must be at least
a thousand photos.

Paul was on hand for our last day with the Big Apple in 2000
in Shelburne, Vermont.
I always took the awning down in the afternoon between shows
on closing day so we could get off the lot in a hurry should the
Sheriff be summoned or whatever reason.
In this case we made a few more dates working out of
Commerford's place and closed the season at the Big E.
Shortly after arrival in Florida I received a call from Gary Johnson
saying he was kicking out on Universoul and would I be
interested?
So we always managed to keep busy.
