Shorty Sylvester and "Jargo"

John Herriott told a wonderful "Jargo" story yesterday at Bill Strong's Memorial. With a little luck, maybe he will repeat it here.

BUCKLES: What a great Memorial Service and JACKPOTS yesterday Gibtown ShowFolks Club.....I was one of the last to depart and I still didn't get around the entire room...So many great people attended..I especially liked John Herriotts comments. Especially his old Bill and Trudy Ringmaster introduction...One of those days you don't want to end...Bill had so many friends..And by the attendance he will be missed....Happy New Year to the Woodcock Family and thank you for all the work you do for us that love the CIRCUS...

How would I get permission to use the photo of the Giraffe Jargo? I'm writing the story of my father in the 1920's and 30's. He and his brother at the ages of 14 and 16 joined a motorized circus that did one night stands in North and South Dakota and Minnesota. They were drives, roustabouts and the Giraffe Jargo. I'm having trouble finding a photo I can use. Please help.
