I'm not too familiar with this man. Did he fill in for Dickie Chipperfield for a while?

I think this is Ingo Stiebners Dad. Ingo had the Sea-lions in Japan with us in 89. Peter and Clair Harrison hsd the sea-lions on the show 2 years previous,worked by Peter and Ingo. Ingo's mom Clair was also a chipperfield trainer, I'm sure Jim, Grahm,Richard, or Dickie, Could add more... Mr. Lee

(Very Belatedly!). It is indeed my Father - actually started off as a groom on Barum. He went on to work for Knie in Switzerland and Giovanni and Corti Althoff, before ending his travelling and trained and presented tigers in "Phantasialands" illusion show for 16 years. He retired from performing after that (about 12 years ago). He had open heart surgery last week which went fine - when I spoke to him the day after, he was talking about sneaking up the stairs to have a quick smoke... sheesh...
