Roger Smith said...: In the late 1950s, I met Willie Robin, flying on Gil Gray. Is this part of his family?; 20 February, 2010 18:37
Jimmy Cole said...: "Robins" is the name of the act that was created for Circus World. I think you are refering to Willie Edelston, who now lives in Sarasota, and is a coach at Sailor youth Circus. Tom Edelston is his son.

This was one of the best flying trapeze acts I have ever seen. They worked very high in the building.

In this photo, Left - Right is Bill Whitmire (catcher), Linda Edelston, Tom Edelston, Lin Whitmire, and John Zimmerman, who was the act's first catcher.; 21 February, 2010 06:27
