For Thomas

I consider this one of the best tapes made commercially on the subject of cage acts, because of the number of trainers featured, even with bits and pieces of some of the greats. It is available still on Amazon.com and I will buy one some day, if there are any available.

Thomas, this is a very nice video but I was very disappointed since it only has a few glimpses of Wade. However, the 116th Edition of the Ringling Brothers Barnum & Bailey Circus has four minutes of him.

I would love to have one of these. Do you need to buy one online? Is it of all the Ringling Trainers?

Mary Ann,
That was the point of the video. To have bits and pieces of many, with obviously Gunther and Charley as the feature as Charley had just died. Did you read the back of the box that is the best thing and I will cherish it always. But as I told Thomas it is a fluff view, to be looked at like a authorized autobiography.

Gary,
I thought you knew about this tape. It was one of Ringling's first efforts after they quite doing the TV special for free. There is some good footage of Jewel his first year on the show. I have been told it is on ebay quite often. And through a number of places, but not Ringling any more. Amazon usually alway has it and often used copies.
