Smokey Jones Revived #1 (From Barbara Durtche)



If you haven't already, you should be receiving an envelope of photos. Some are older and I'm pretty sure from RBBB. No identification.
Others are Smokey etc.
He was dumping "this shit" (his words)from his trailer into a dumpster one day, and I happened to be there.........grabbed some things. Hope you can use them on the blog or whatever.

"There are over 50 pictures of Smokey and included was this one containing a lot of familiar faces (could this be at the Sarasota Circus Festival?). In any event, this is a pretty suspicious looking crowd."

If I had to make a guess, it would be "Teddy" on the Downie Show.

That female on the left in red is a dead ringer for me. Scared me at first. I know I was never there. At least not for picture taking. Who is she?

We are 99 per cent on identification. Top left has been identified as Mike Latorres. Next to him is a mystery un less it could be Sally, and down in front next to Kim Sue would be Sandy Wi9ndland, and its intersting to see the bearded Bones Craig. I will try to identify them all tomorrow. Seen is Ben Williams, Gaylord Maynard, Marie Pettus plus other interesting people all gathered during the great days of our circusw festival and parade here in Sarasota. Quite a time and what a group.

It looks to be Georgiana Donoho, the white white hair is a give away. She is a cage assistant for a performer, Vincent Vonduke. On the side of his rig it does say G.Donoho. Whether this is her son or husband I don't know. There appears to be an age difference and they both have the very blond hair so I am not sure. Did she have a dog act? Whjen I met them she had 8-10 small little whit poodles or something like that. They did not perform
