Vera Orton


In yesterday's quiz:
A- Rex Williams
B- Fred Logan
C- Steve Fanning who started out as an aerialiast and was at one time married to my cousin Vera, pictured above.
D- Richard Shipley who was boss elephant man with the Ringling Show in the mid 1940's, the Clyde Beatty Circus in the 1950's and Carson & Barnes (Jack Moore) in the 1960's.
E- I would like you to know that you have been casting aspersions on Al Vidbel who along with Logan worked the end ring elephants for Shipley on the Ringling Show.
F- And finally, I should have known that my readership would be too clever to fall for my trick and quickly revealed that this is the nefarious Klaus who met the fate he deserved when he tried to stop the circus train with his convertable.
