I see "Leon De Rousseau" in the program, one of the craziest people I have ever met in my life. I worked with him in Italy on Circo De Berlino in 1967.He always found a sponsor for his act, so he would get free food or clothing or jewelry etc. Before his dive he would jell out to the audience that he went shopping on that day at this particular shop and that the had the best merchandise in town and that every body should shop there at least once before the die. On his platform was a sign with the sponsors advertising. Must have been part of this salary. In the 6 months we where together he went to the hospital at least 3 times with something broken but he kept on working.
