Third from left sure looks like Jim Judkins, currently owner of Circus Chimera. But I think he would have been in college in 1973. Or maybe running Circus Kirk, and visiting the Red Show? Anyone else remember when he had the 'fro?

I looked at the photo more carefully; third from left has same shirt as the working guys, so if it's Jim Judkins he was working there. Well it looks just like him, and if it's NOT him, it's his doppelganger!

The first blue shirt on left looks like a fellow from California called Gilbert
he was still there in '75 when I joined he left with most of the american animal crew at the end of '75
Jewell New was just starting the lion act at Venice & then Circus World in '73 his groom was Mike Aria,
I believe Ed joined Jewell on the road around '78, Gary ?

Ed, came on a while after I left and went to Sanford Zoo to work with Sobik. I met him only once.

Taking a second and better look, I don't think that is Ed?
