Bill Hall said...: We talked with Sonny in the elephant tent of RBBB's red unit on 2/28/10 at Phila.,PA., & he said it was his
42d year with show, noting, too, that elephants in herd run by Joe Frisco, Jr., ranged in age from 4 to 44 yrs. -- Bill Hall; 11 March, 2010 07:46

Chic Silber said...: I guess these days the lines

may get blurred but in the good

ol dayz there was no confusion

It was fun to peeel the layers

of red & blue paint from some

piece of equipment to see how

many times it had been swiped; 11 March, 2010 21:34
Chic Silber said...: Blue was the show created out of

what was left of TGSOE that had

shrunk down to 17 cars in 66

I am relieved to know that Sonny

never changed his colors

Not likely anyone left that

would refer to the Red Show

as Circus Williams (as we did); 11 March, 2010 21:39
