Dick -

Any relation to Al or Sandy? ~frank

Al and Lola were siblings. Sandy is Al's son by his first marriage. Lola had married fellow performer Emil Goetschi before coming to the US to join Ringling in 1946; their son is also named Emil and he had his own wire act some years ago but I don't know if he is still performing. Lola died only a couple of years ago and
Al, of course, died tragically in Vegas some years back.

It will be interesting to see if this mention of the death of Al Dobritch generates discussion.
