45 YEARS YOUNG , FELDS MARK MILESTONE (2 photos) : Unbelievable as it seems, Nov. 12 will mark the 45th anniversary of the Feld's ownership of RBBB, seen here in Rome (John North is somewhere here), in 1967, Irvin, Judge Hofheinz, our own Lee Solters, and Israel "Izzy" Feld, plus assorted Feld and Hofheinz kids, including Kenneth and Karen Feld—the BIG DAY when the circus sale was official. (It’s said that Irvin’s group paid $8 milIion in gold bullion and when JRN died, he was worth north of $100 million) the early days, I remember the anti-Feld bias among veteran circus folks, pointing to their alleged lack of "circus expertise." Looking back, it's a very different story, as, ironically, the Felds have now operated the combined shows LONGER than any Ringling ever did and operation is now in the hands of a THIRD Feld generation, also a record! |

Jerry,
Amen to that. Often times more can be accomplished, if you are not focused on being "with it and for it......"

In that time we where with the Williams show in Italy, I think Milan. Played in Rome near the Colosseum at Christmas time. And the where talking already about going to America with the show. We where there together with Circo Enis Toni( Flavios Father) and Circo Castillia from Spain. The show was called Circo de Berlino and what a great show it was.
