Ten years ago Pammy and I were dreaming of a white Christmas in Sarasota, Florida. We spent our first Christmas away from home in a very long time because we were in Winter Quarters rehearsing the 131st Edition of the Ringling Brothers Barnum and Baily Circus. Fortunately for us we got to spend holiday at the annual Christmas party at the home of two of the nicest people on Earth and friends to all circus clowns: Steve Smith and Beth Duda. The following photos only give a hint of just how special their home felt. While we were there we enjoyed the company of some neat people. I love showfolk!
The lovely and charming Beth Duda.
Pammy and I with Jackie LeClaire, circus clown and Red Skelton impersonator not to mention a great guy.
Ruth Chaddock , Barry Lubin (of the Big Apple Circus) and Mitch Freddes.
Prop master George Shellenberger and the irrepressible Steve Smith.
Everything seemed to sparkle and glow at their place.
Some of the feast that we enjoyed that day.
Pammy and I chillin' backstage, I mean poolside in Paradise.
Red unit Boss clown Jay Stewart being a good daddy.
