Buckles said...: Irvin Feld hated having that tub on the floor and even went so far as to bring the subject up at a meeting I was compelled to attend.
I explained that my wife claims she recieves lacerations on her shoulders from the surface of the Ringling tub while being lifted by Anna May for the leg carry.
A jury later ruled in her favor.; 11 December, 2013 15:08
