SAD NEWS FROM MIKE NAUGHTON---

 
Posted by Picasa
Very sad news this morning. Long-time friend and fellow showman, PeeWee Pinson, passed away during the night; apparently from a massive heart attack.
He was working with Joanne Wilson on Mike Naughton's Yankee Doodle Circus tour in New Jersey.
Our hearts and prayers are with Joanne, Kim, Dennie and the entire family.
The Carlos McIntyre Family were parked on the grounds overnight, too.
YDC was traveling to Whitinsville, Massachusetts, about 160 miles, the biggest jump of the tour.
Pee Wee, Joanne and the McIntyres decided to leave in the morning with their travel homes because it would be easier to drive in daylight and they had overnight power at the high school in Rhinebeck.
Kim Sue Valla, Joanne's daughter, was in White Plains, New York for the upcoming weekend date for Hanneford. Kim Sue traveled about 90 miles to bring her mother to the Hanneford lot.
Joanne will return to Yankee Doodle on Saturday, February 16 in Holbrook, Massachusetts.
The above is the only facts that I know as of this moment.
