Chic, This may have been the 3rd or 4th circus picture I ever took in my life. I was 15 years old, skipped school and was in Fall River, MA to see Beatty-Cole on May 10, 1962. I had borrowed my dad's 127 Brownie Kodak Camera, and would set it on tent stakes to keep it steady.

25 years later I ran into my former high school art teacher who told me he was still angry at me for skipping school that day. He said that he wished I had told him about the circus and taken him along with me!

Who got shot out of that cannon? Keith Partridge?

During my years in the 60s on

the Beatty Show it was Louis

Munoz Sr and I thought he was

killed when he drove the cannon

off some mountain road maybe in

Mexico and I don't remember the

cannon's return Jimmy mentioned
