A top trainer, and a fine gentleman, Osa Barrada, in the barn at Howard Suesz'z Clyde Bros. Circus Winterquarters in Edmond, Oklahoma. Guessing the era is the mid-1970s.

In the 60's

'60s--OK, Jim. I didn't actually meet him until '75, when I had Suesz'z tigers and elephants. He was most cordial, even presenting me with a twisted whipstock. One thing for sure--his lion acts were terrific. He had excellent routines, sharply presented with speed and style.
