They were Adrian and Martha Kjeer. <br />I am sorry to hear of your dad's passing. My dad passed 6 years ago but my mom is doing great. <br />Wasn't your mom's name Pat (Patricia) as well? I'd like to do some research and see if there are any media available that I can see our dad in action! Take care. By the way, Riverview is bigger than Brandon now, with four ZIP Codes and was named one of the best towns in the country this year. <br />Scott Kjeer (scottkjeer@gmail.com)noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5853805336568551814.post-18293220015680383892012-12-27T13:23:50.926-06:002012-12-27T13:23:50.926-06:00Thank you for the article on Pat Anthony; he was m...Thank you for the article on Pat Anthony; he was my brother-in-law and I always thought the world of him.

When I was about 7 yrs old I showed him some silly magic tricks and he pretended astonishment. Then he showed me some baby tigers and it was my turn to be astonished.I never forgot Pat Anthony and his kindness.<br />PKPKnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5853805336568551814.post-59724822411685870372012-12-19T08:43:17.603-06:002012-12-19T08:43:17.603-06:00So nice to see all this great stuff about my dad!!...So nice to see all this great stuff about my dad!! He was, in my opinion, the best. He was a great trainer and had a special gift with animals, that my son, his grandson, now posseses.

His act had everything you said and more -- it was exciting. Over the years I got to know him, what a man. Thanks for the memories.<BR/><BR/>Jules Jacot would make flat braided whip lashes. Jules were longer than Pat's and a bit of challenge to use when I'd give them a try. Pat probably picked up the skill from some of the old school trainers at Jungleland.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5853805336568551814.post-53773380416465339552009-02-08T01:35:00.000-06:002009-02-08T01:35:00.000-06:00Steve, That is Dave Hoover who Pat sold some of ...Steve,<BR/> That is Dave Hoover who Pat sold some of the lions to when he retired. Hawthorn sold Dave some lions that I showed to him before he bought them. I think their names were Mitch, Caesar, and Bongo. I would tell you why Dave was standing in the cage, but the fans like him, and it will start a hey rube. He insisted on the same thing with me.<BR/> I'll email you private, mate.<BR/>WadeWade G.
