Hi Mr.Miller.WOW! great photos.
What a fantastic rig with a truss
& four uprights.I was too young-of
course but heard so much about the act-especially the comic who had an artificial leg and would turn it arround 180 degrees (what comedy).& Ma in the catch trap.
Buster being one of the main flyers.
All from Saginaw,Michigan.
Thanks for the photos.
sincerely-- Tony Steele

Barry,
Where were these pitures taken and what was the occasion? I remember Ann showing some slides at the Joel E. Warner Top Christmas party of the act. She had one that showed a passing leap (I guess that is what she called it) with I believe three people in the air at one time. Ann said that no one else had performed the trick previously. Do you know anything about it? Thanks for posting the pictures.
