HOWDY, MY NAME IS BILL STRONG, I'LL BE YOUR "24 HOUR MAN", ROUTING YOU INTO THE PAST TO SEE WHAT THE CIRCUS WAS IN DAYS GONE BY. IF YOU'RE LIKE ME, AND MISS WHAT IT USED TO BE, THEN COME ON ALONG AS WE GO DOWN THE ROAD FOLLOWING THE ARROWS BACKWARDS, TO "YESTERDAY'S TOWNS"! IF YOU HAVE CIRCUS RELATED PICTURES YOU WOULD LIKE POSTED, SEND THEM TO,,,,yesterday1@verizon.net,,,,AND WE WILL TRY TO FIT THEM IN. "24 HOUR MAN" WILL HAVE THE FINAL DECISION ON POSTING.
Three years at CWM made me a real traditionalist, and I keep remembering Bob Parkinson saying, "I want the people to see what the circus used to be, not what it is today. That's what this site is about!
Here is the finished product, front & back. The marquee you see in the center runs from just inside the gate to the facade, behind the facade is another larger one extending to the entrance of the big top.

You have to admit, it's been a long time since the customer was treated so good here. This is just a fantastic piece of engineering. No wonder it was pulled overland. Thanks, Bill and Trudy. Great shots!

Re: Jim's site, I couldn't agree more.
Re: Ms Sembach, I guarantee your compliments did not fall on deaf ears. I found her to be very humble and genuinely pleased when people take the time to show appreciation.
The Ringmaster & i used to cut up jackpots at intermission while the crew put up the cage, the conversation always seemed to come back to, "where do you go after Krone"!
