Your article and photos of Jimmy Bashline’s Circus were most interesting and informative. Mr. Bashline’s time, talent and effort to create such a wonderful depiction of the circus coming to town is an outstanding example of folk art.

Likewise, the dedication of the late Bob Brandon and others to rescue and restore and exhibit it is a commendable and worthwhile endeavor. All art, be it folk or fine, is a monument to its creator and preservationists in order that those yet to come may enjoy.

Your article gave me (being a native of Westmoreland County) the opportunity to have a glimpse of Mr. Bashline’s Circus. I look forward to seeing it in the future. Kudos to all!
