I met Manuel Atayde when I first came to Mexico with some of Carson and Barnes baby elephants for the Frank Brown/Atayde Bros. Circus in 1975, at the Palacio de los Deportes. He presented the two big show elephants in the ring and I presented the babies outside of the ring. He also presented a great 6 dromedary camel act, with girl riders and he dressed as an Arab Sheik riding a grey Arabian horse. It was beautiful. I asked about Manuel when I first got here and was told that he had died 3 years ago unfortunately. <br /><br />WadeWade G.

Is Manuel Atayde still around?<br />Met him in a cantina back in the 80's and for weeks (Mexican circus dates are typically long) in Acapulco I had the run of the circus lot and a box seat when I wished. When we hit a bar or two, he would drink the rum and me the Coke. DennisDennishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02767163502338369146noreply@blogger.com
