The Greatest Show on Earth!

Step right up folks.  Be amazed! See "The Greatest Show on Earth.  Three rings of excitement, intrigue,

mystery, and drama.  All right before your very eyes.

In the first ring, see the young man!  Daring, exciting, full of vigor and youth.  See him attempt great feats of

daring.  See him from his childhood adventures, throwing his first football, making his first tackle and growing

in leaps and bounds.  Watch him as goes on his first date, tastes the lips of the girl in his first kiss and feel his

sorrow in his first heart break!   See him as his mother hugs him goodbye and his father shakes his hand as he

goes off to the Marines. Feel the passion, the uncertainty, and experience the fear that fills him for the first time

in his life. Feel his despair and the warmth of his tears as he carries his sister's coffin to her grave.

Look now to the second ring!  Examine his ascent into manhood.  His father at his side, the best man at his

wedding.  Don't look away before his first child is born!  Watch him giving cigars away and proudly showing

photographs of her to anyone that he can stop for a moment.  Imagine his misgivings as he experiences so

many firsts! Mortgages, sick kids, career decisions and finances.  Imagine the joy and madness that

accompanies the birth of three more children.  Breathe deep his hopes and plans for a future for them all!

Gaze now on the third ring!  Dreams, aspirations, great sadness with hope are the stars. See his unrealized

dreams fade before him.  Watch as aspirations are replaced by reality, circumstances both within and outside

of his control.  See his marriage fail and the sadness, grief and madness that accompanies divorce.  Watch his

hopes soar as his runs his first marathon, meets a childhood friend and falls in love again for the first time.

Experience the melancholy as his children enter college, throw their first football and make their first tackle.

Swell with pride over his children's accomplishments and be encouraged in his belief that everything will work

out if you just keep the faith.

Ladies and Gentlemen, don't look away for even one moment.  Life......... it's the "Greatest Show on Earth!"
