My Aunt Janet was the first person to ever take me to the circus.  Just she and I (I was four, maybe five years old) took the LIRR into New York City to Madison Square Garden to see Ringling Brothers Barnum and Bailey Circus. So wonderful; the three rings,each with their own separate show going on, all at once.  The clowns, the acrobats, the animals (especially the elephants!) were so exciting.  So nice to have her all to myself for that day.  I'll miss you, Aunt Janet.  Love, Pete
