Lad Moore of East Texas - Circus roustabout and wordsman

Leo Moore moved from Marshall

and now lives in Jefferson. The many intervening years were filled with richness. His essay on his adolescent circus days in "Murder-By-4" is touched by lightsome, elegaic, and realist tones. Seems he'd be a good fellow with which to share a Bayou LeMarche stroll or a slice of pie.
