Bert Cole
To those of you who might have read the Charles Sparks letters in the current BANDWAGON, this is Bert Cole as a youth, a dear friend of Mr. Sparks and the recipient of many of the letters written in their later lives. |

Henry Gentry #1
I had always regarded Mr. Gentry as having an "Elmer Fuddish" appearance until I read the Fred Pfening article below. |

Henry Gentry #2
I lifted a portion of a lengthy letter written by Frederic Bonfils to H.H. Tammen, owners of the Sells-Floto Circus, from a 1967 BANDWAGON article by Fred Pfening regarding the rampage and death of "Snyder" in Salina, Kansas Sept. 13, 1920 bringing Mr. Gentry into a new light. Odd how the town folk wanted to have their picture taken with the carcass, even children were included. Maybe some enterprising soul had set up a mug joint. Buckles |

Baker Tent starbacks001
Here's a good drawing from my Spring 1930 catalog of Baker-Lockwood, based in Kansas City, Missouri, that shows how a section of starbacks also incorporated foot rests as well as how the backs appeared folded down. |

From Buckles
Biller Bros. Circus 1949 The other elephant is one of many named "Modoc". She was very ordinary but rose to fame in her final years when her owner, a West Coast guy named Helfer, had a book written that incorporated her with all the other "Modocs" including "Big Modoc" of Ringling fame. The story line included her voyage to America and a dramatic storm at sea, the worst kind of trash. |

On Saturday, January 16, Bello joined Bruce Springstein at Asbury Park's historic Paramount Theater as part of a gala concert sponsored by Light of Day Foundation to raise funds for Parkinson's disease research. As you can imagine, he was thrilled to share the stage with "the Boss". |
