Side Show Manager and Circus Painter Henry Thompson
is seen posing with my mother and father on the Kelly-Miller
lot in 1962.

I must say that your Dad being one of the best elephant men is also a great photographer.
These are some of the best photos I have ever seen on Kelly Miller.
Perfect exposure and sharp as a tack focus.
If I had to say they look like they were shot with a very expensive Lecia camera not a Kodak.
These are a model builders dream come true.
Thank you as always as what a way to start off the day with these great photos.
A job well done.
