In response to your fax today.  We in Alamo love animals and enjoy seeing
them both in the woods and in the circus.  I went to the circus and found
that it was very enjoyable.  It was clean holesome  fun.  The animals
were well cared for and well behaved. (none went berserk)     They didn't
have to worry about starving or were the water was. 

The criminals that you were worrying about shows that most of our worries
are self made.  They took only what they brought to the Township and
cleaned up behind themselves. .  Some neighbors that had some skinny
horses were concerned but when I saw the nice fat horses  that was with
the circus I knew that  they would never go across the road to eat the
skinny ones.

Our children had a chance to see a circus.

The only mess that we had was when people were standing in the road to
hand out flyers that most got dropt on the ground and they caused a
traffic problem.

If the circus wants to come back to Alamo they would be welcome.

I realize that people that are educated past what they can handle would
never understand this.
