Early Big Apple Circus

When I was back on the Ringling Show in 1995 we showed the Raleigh Fairgrounds and someone mentioned that there was a flea market out front and a guy was selling circus photographs. I bought five or six albums and among the pictures were a series of Big Apple photos taken 7/2/82 in Woodstock, NY (our first year affiliated with the show) and 7/11/83 in Pittsfield, Ma.
When I removed some from the album today to be scanned, I was surprised to discover had been taken by my good friend Dave Orr.
So I will send some out over the next few days.

I might add that Ben and "Anna May" were on the show the first year, Barbara, Dalilah and "Toto" the second year and the first time I ever saw the show was the third season when I joined, having been in Baraboo with the remaining elephants the two previous seasons.

I printed Dave Orr's picture from The CFA page at a luncheon. I am trying to put faces with some of the bloggers.

I just noticed the elephant belt buckle that Mr. Orr is wearing. Very nice.
