When I look at these old programs and letters the memories flood back and most certainly the friends that I worked with. Many of those dear ones are longer with us. Oh how I miss the old days!

Roger Smith wrote a note on the right side. Your note brings back memories of Smokey Jones.  I bought a whip from him while he was visiting the show. Smokey was one of a kind and one fine elephant trainer.

This man and wife team were outstanding performers and the nicest couple that you would ever want to meet.  I have not seen them in years. I trust they are doing well.
