Corky Plunkett named his 1950's show, James Christy Circus, after his son, seen in picture #3 talking to Sheriff Pat Garrett.
So we have the names of Corky's son and two grandsons in this title. Actually there's a granddaughter named Star that didn't make the cut.
Their maternal Grandfather John Herriott takes great delight in them, especially their Texas drawl.
When they were small he once overheard Cole say to Starr, "Hey Store! You gonna do them Hula-Loops
this year?"

From the show's website:

"They have three children, Star Cristy, 18, Jesse James, 16 and Cole, 11, (hence the name of the circus)!"

Dan: Some of those ages must be off as Corky took the James Christy show out in 1959.

Whitey, I was just sharing some info on the fact that Star wasn't forgotten when naming the show.

Jesse JAMES
Star CHRISTY
and COLE

That's all I was getting at.
