Henry,
If you are Henry Schroder, you have more then an opinion, you have a valid statement.
What started out with:

It is too bad that with all of his fantastic accomplishments in making circus history and putting on great shows [three cat acts on each show],

Johnny,
I didn't realize Ringling had 3 cat acts. What years were those? Thanks
Wade
Followed by:
Henry Edgar says "i believe there were also 3 rings of cat acts in the early days, before cat acts were removed from the ringling program in the late 1920s. there were also several years that mr feld had three cage acts on the same show, though the third was often a cat/elephant/horse act or a tiger/horse display."
To taking the heat of of Irvin Feld, and Bob Brooks
To a comment by I assume Henry Schroder, who's great act most of us were referencing being told he has an ego to big for a cage, because he offered an opinion. I am sure Henry you heard a lot of jealous people say the same thing about Boss, Charley, Wolfgang, etc. over the years. From an anonymous, as John Goodall suggests it is just a fart, nothing valid or worth noting.
So what do you think Henry? Has the Circus scene here changed much since you have been away?
Regards,
Wade Burck
John Herriott didn't answer a single question put to him, instead telling us a story about Windy Van Hooten. At comment 18 he made a statment, that I asked him to explain in comment 20, as well as a couple more when he kept ducking in and out. By comment 45 he left and went someplace else to tell us about the important history of Windy Van Hooten, and wasn't even around to hear number 50 anonymous tell Henry Schroder he had a big ego.

An abbreviated version of STEP RIGHT UP by Bob Brooks on the "History Channel"

Of course, my last comment on the "History Channel" didn't go through. Instead a link to a Circus Vargas commercial was permitted. How's that for "History" once again. Now fellow Animal Trainer, Henry Schroder will never know that I defended him, and respected his opinion.
The father is revered as the "Greatest Circus Historian of all Time". I have to wonder if he wrote it in much the same way as the son? I can only hope these two blogs can be linked/piggybacked through eternity, so future historians can at least have a general idea, in answering, "What happened to Atlantis?"
