Doc Capell, as I remember him, was a true showmen and gentlmen and he loved to cut up jack pots. Mayme, his wife was very hard working woman and just as sweet as can be….that is if you didn’t get her hot at you. She indeed was a grand lady. The last time I saw her was when the office wagon truck broke down at Texas Canyon, Az. Dad and I were on our way to another spot when we reached the top of a grade,  we noticed a show truck and Mayme sitting on the running board of the truck. We pulled over and had a great reunion and spoke of old times. It wasn’t too long before the show’s mechanic got there to repair the fuel pump. We said our goodby’s and down the road we went………. that never ending circus road.
