Nadia Houcke on Bertram Mills Circus.

P.S. My father was Freddy Yelding.

Sue,
Welcome. Thank you for the information. Not only did I not know that Freddy Yelding was your father, I had always assumed you came into the Circus from the "outside."
I hope you are well, and give my very best to Rudy.

Wade ---
I'm an "outsider." But I have an old program from the Bertram Mills Circus Summer Tour 1961. And this picture is in it. The headline & caption read: Bertram Mills Arabian Horses. A spectacular equine pot-pourri presented by Nadia Houcke and Norman Barrett and featuring 12 of Bertram Mills own magnificent thoroughbred Arabian horses.

Todd,
Thank you. I wonder why there would be two people presenting a liberty act, and how you would do it. I don't know what a "Thoroughbred Arabian horse" is, and I suspect that may be some of that "circus grandiose" language.
