1958. Does anyone know the "broad" sitting in the trunk?
Although this picture is dated 1966, Shrine Circus programs are a notorious piece of junk which usually have wrong pictures and/or acts listed, the elephant's don't look much bigger then in the 1962 pictures. Also the "broad" look's like Gina Williams who styled the act in 1962 with Rex Williams. Is that Rex Williams in the white jacket? Sure doesn't look like him. 1966 Shrine Programs list Eddie Aiken and/or Lee Keener as trainers?
Lou Regan, my mentor in 1970 unloading Mary on the left and Sue coming out of the truck. Ruth from the original act, who died had been replaced by Marge/Margie whom I assume is still in the truck.
