John Ringling Hotel--1940

It is a shame this could not have been saved, and one wing turned into a permanent winter home for Dave Orr.

Dave,
It's not strange. I saw your plea on facebook, and thought I would do my part to try to keep you off the street.(FYI, all else fail's Sarasota does have a nice Salvation Army soup kitchen/hostel.) As for no bad habit's, that is open to speculation. Folks would be advised to ask for reference's to be on the safe side.....

Wade: Will it's all over, I have located a place in Sarasota...for the winter...No thanks to Wade Burck...But it's always a comfort to think Wade was thinking about my problems.....Now, I can once again USHER for Circus Sarasota.....Have done all the years except two...Please come in the left tunnel/odd side of the Big Top and look for me...Say Hello! Look forward to seeing all my friends especially Frank Curry wearing that fantastic hat..Always good to see Frank walk into the Big Top with that smile and hat...Wade why can't you get a hat like Frank's?

Question: Who is the horse lady coming to Circus Sarasota?

Pedro Reis, continues to sign some of the best acts in show business.

Dave,
You are talking out your ass again. "No thanks to Wade Burck!!!!" Listen Pal, that's how much you know. I had arranged for you to bunk at the Do Drop Inn, if all other avenues had failed(avenue's being telling the truth on your references, instead of your usual BS about being Adviser to RBBB Circus, Monte Carlo Festival and famed Animal Trainers Dicky Kohlreiser and Wade Burck.
"Hat like Frank's????" Jesus Dave why do you have to be a mutt?" "Hat like Frank's!!!" I'm Wade Burck. Why in the world would I wear a Minnie Pearl, price tag hanging off hat like Frank's? My hat's are custom made(that means it is made to my specifications, no other like it) Charly 1 Horse felts. You may have seen pictures of Richard "The King" Petty in his, and if you have the chance someday to get to the place with the rarefied air where the likes of Petty and I hang out, you might catch a glimpse of mine.

Wade

P.S. None of them are ladies, they just want you to think that. :) Pedro and Dolly are pure class, and I hope their show is successful. Give them my best.
