The Herriott Family #3


John Herriott with Ringling-Barnum Red Unit 1970.

I saw the show this season in Milwaukee, John was Bob Dover's assistant and I had the pleasure of chatting with both as I watched Gunther for the first time, as both he and a tiger stood atop "Kongo" while she turned slowly on a tub in the center of the big cage.
I remarked, "Johnny, this is pretty strong stuff!" and he replied' "Yes, and I have to follow this with my little ponies."
