these ring curbs had interior

lighting that we fought to keep

working for years before finally

giving up and let them paint over

the plastic diamonds

We went through similar issues

on again off again for years on

the Ringling show as well

My Monte Carlo ring curb was

kept lighted for it's entire

(but short lived) career

Jim,
A great photo of a great elephant trainer, presenter, and a wonderful circus performer.
I first met Freddy in Port Arthur, Texas in 1970. It had been raining as it does in the Fall here in Texas and Beatty Cole had to switch lots as the first lot was under water.
In all the years Freddy was on Beatty Cole it was a pleasure to visit with him and Ora and the family.
What ever town the show was in he knew all the circuses and carnivals that played it.
Freddy never forgot your name when visiting.
His great family was all over the reserve seats ushering and when timed permitted more jack pots took place.
It was my great pleasure to be friend to Freddy and his family.
A true circus legend that fans will never forget.
