Prop Boss Tommy Clarke, in T-shirt, involved with constructing the ring curb. When Canvas Boss George Werner died in '64, Tommy took his place, and had both Props and Big Top. The two jobs almost killed him. Once the top was up and the props were in, the rule was never to go near Tommy's trailer until showtime, allowing the overworked man any sleep he could get.
