Jimmy,
How are you doing, old friend. How is your lovely wife? I would have assumed you or DJ or other esteemed members of the famous Clown College would have taken a shot at me for the blunder. I would have deserved it, and humbly taken the thrashing. Some of my most cherished "circus" memories are of the incredible alley's that Ringling had. Graduation was to be witnessed to be appreciated, and Nuremburg's are indescribable. You just had to be there. You know I would have been like a crazed monkey defending the last banana if someone had posted a picture of Charly Baumann and labled it GGW.

and was with them until there was no more.
and we move to Palmetto. were I start to do the Elephant Blanket.with Arthur Boccia, many many new ones and also refurnish the old one, like the Gunther ,and the Tiger one...until 2003.
then my husband was not doing to good . and I did not go back.
all in all I was 17 years with the great RBBB.they are lovely memories.
and you had to be there to cherished. and I am almost sure I made Jimmy Graham costume.
