From Roger Smith


This faded newspaper photo from my boyhood albums coincides with
the one of Johnny and his mixed exotics, on Gil Gray, in the '50s.
This is when I first met the Herriotts. Gil Gray played Katy Ballpark, at
3rd and Webster, alongside the MKT tracks, in Waco, Texas. Date-
line reads September 11, 1957.

You're welcome, Johnny. Your family has always been blessed with beautiful ladies, immensely talent men and women, and thankfully, the promise of circus history forever in the making.

Its great to see Mary Ruth in her Original condition. Knew her then and she was lots of fun in addition to being great mom and wife and performer. Seeing her smile in this pic makes my day...Paul
