Hi Bill, We stopped in Gainesville to see Ethyl Henry and her son Gary. Gary had gone in the hospital while we were in Dallas and came out 3 days before we closed in KCMo. Almost 6 weeks. He was doing pretty good. He was weak in hs legs as he didn't use his legs for so long. Ethyl is in the nursing home still.
We made it with flying colors !!! We arrived ay 2:00 Tuesday after spending time in Wall-Mart in Palm Springs. To bad about New Orleans, you could have come to the cast BBQ, on the 4th by my truck. It was a lot of fun. PeeWee cooked on the bbq pit.All of the cast pitched in with food and had a great time.
So glad that you are home. We are not there yet. We will be in this afternoon. Came from Phoenix. long drive. I will call you. I have to do a promo show before the show today

Hi Bill, sorry I did not repl sooner.
yes we were very close to the Victorian fires. It has affected a lot of people. Over 200 dead, 1800 house destroyed, untold loss of wild life and over 7000 people now with nowhere to call home.
We have donated our Circus Sunrise to help raise money for the victims.
Na it’s pretty easy to get the trailer in-between the main polls it take about 6 to 7 hours to get the show packed up but there is only 4 guys that sets up and packs up the show
