Harold Ronk Collection #1 (From Robin Estes)


First let me say how much I enjoy your blog. It has taught me so much about the circus but even more so about the "heart of the circus" -- it's people. How special you are and thank you for letting me eavesdrop . :o)I wrote you some time ago and said I had bought a stack of circus pictures at Harold Ronk's auction. I have finally sorted them out and can send them if you would like. I have tried to organize them into categories - animals, in the air, on the ground, and misc.I will send the elephant pictures first as a sample. Since you have had circus wagons this week I will send 2 that are dated 1961. You or Shannon can let me know if how I send them is OK.Let me know if you want more.

"Thank you very much, Mr. Ronk was much admired in the business and we would enjoy any pictures you would like to share."

Any idea who the elephant is on the MasterCard commercial that appeared on last night's Academy Awards show? And who trained the elephant? Thank you. --- ToddP
