For the Wallace & Rogers Circus in '76, the Hartzells had a cast and crew of 12! It was Johnny Sr. & Helene, John Jr. & Dena, Ross & wife, Ray, Scott Riddle, Smokey Jones' three sons, and myself. Now THAT'S shorthanded.

A one-ring show, put up and taken down daily with two shows in between. Traveling throughout the Western United States, Canada, The Yukon Territory and Alaska! It was the best experience a 22 year-old could ever hope for. ~frank
