Replica of Ringling Bros. Circus Fairgrounds
By DNiceZELDA@aol.com, forwarded

I have received the following request for information.  Anyone
on the MMD who can help, please?  Please contact direct with info
as well as posting here.  Thanks.

(If there's anyone who also wants to write an article about it for
the FOPS magazine, please do so with my thanks!)

To whom it may concern,  Where I live in upstate New York there
is an abandoned IBM building containing an exact replica of the
Ringling Bros. fair grounds.  Also in this abandoned building is
a single organ in the process of repair.  Signs hang on the organ
reading "Property of New York National Organ Society."

This is an abandoned building closed because of high levels of
asbestos.  Whoever is building the circus grounds replica has a
complete binder of news paper clippings about a man named Joe who
builds replica of the Cole Bros. circus.  Can you tell me anything
about this situation?

thank you
