Tom Dyck


Is the last name spelled wrong and this is Tom Dieck, either Sr. or Jr?

Transatlantic greetings.
I am still unable to comment on your postings on "No Spin", and at the moment, I'm unable to read what has been added as comments.
So... the photo of "Tom Dyck" is definitely not of Tommy (Tom Jr), and I don't think that Tom (Sr) has ever worked in such a wardrobe.
With regard to the presenter in the cage with "RB" emblazoned all around the place, it will have been taken on Robert Brothers' Circus here in Britain, and the presenter seems to be Captain Sydney Howes, who was with that show for ages. We are talking of the days of Bobby and Tommy Roberts Sr, the current Bobby and Tom(my) being sons of Uncle Bobby.
And quite a while back, you posted some paper of Cirkus Charles, or Miss Charles. Cirkus Charles is a precursor of Cirkus Krone.

That'll do for now.

Cheers,
John.

This is the second email that I have received, stating that folks are having a problem leaving comments. I don't have any idea what the problem is, but will look into it, and hope there is no further problem. I appreciate your patience.

Hello Wade,

First of all ,I hope you and yours are doing fine.
I write this mail,because I have trouble reading the comments
on the blog recently and wanted to react on some of the pics.

The first pic of the black trainer is Rudy Zahmayer at Circo Americano 1956-1957.

The pic of Tom Dieck is sr.I do believe his fathers name was also Tom or Tommy.
So Tom Dieck jr must be Tom The third.

Greetings,

Rob.

There are three Tom Dieck's. One of them is still performing and is called Tommy Dieck or Tom Dieck Jr. The one you see at the pic here is Tom Dieck Sr. father of Tommy. But when he was performing he was called Tom Dieck Jr. He did his last season in 2004 at Arlette Gruss and then last performance in winter 2004 at Ahoy in Holland. He worked before at Nock, Krone, Renz, Pauwels,...

Wade,
On the subject of Circus Krone. The horses and the Krone elephant herd wil not be opening the first winterprogram of 2011 in the Circus Krone building. From November 26th until December 11th 2011 they are at the Parc des Expositions near Le Bourget airport in Paris, where they wil perform in the Bouglione ciruspantomime La Perle du Bengale.

Bjorn,
I wonder where the Brothers Lacey will be at that time? That's something for you Europeans to to keep an eye out for. I'm just saying........

Yes cause Tom Dieck will be in Charles Knie in 2011 so Alex Lacey will be in another circus. Martin Lacey will also be at Bouglione I think. Frederic Edelstein is saying he has a contract with RBBaB for 2011.
