Got a call today from Giovanni Zoppe, who is performing with his
Zoppe Family Circus at the Eire County Fair in Hamburg, NY. He wanted me to get
in touch with you ''to get the word out'' that the Wall Street Journal of
Friday, August 12th is scheduled to run a feature on Circus Clowns and that the
Zoppe Circus is also scheduled to be spotlighted.
Also Giovanni told me
that a woman from the NY Times just finished traveling with the Zoppe Family
Circus for about a week. Her feature about the Zoppe Circus is due early next
week in the NY Times.
With thanks
