During the intermission, I walked over to the bandstand to get Izzy Cervone’s autograph. It just happened that Tommy Hanneford was standing nearby and I was able to get his autograph, too. (I remember telling him that I thought his riding act was just about the greatest thing I had ever seen.)

Hi Buckles, It is interesting to note that Grace McIntosh went on to found M&M Circus Internatonale. I worked their Damascus Shrine dates here in Rochester,NY from 1961 to 1980. Many of the performers in this line up became good friends, especially Joe and Chester Sherman. Bill Galloway
