More Bears #6



If I'm not mistaken, these are Wally Naughton's bears with the Howard Suesz Show about 1960.
The lady would be Cuccilo's sister Gena?
My wife would know but awakening her at 5:28 in the morning would not be a wise move.

She was most recently known as

Netta MacMahon as she was married

to Ray when she died a couple of

years back but worked an uncaged

leopard act as "Gina" & had been

married to Harry Dubsky Sr but

I 1st knew her as Antoinetta

Her son Hashi (Harry Jr) just

died recently on March 24th

Didn't Wally do a Vargas stint at

some level of management

I remember talking with Wally when he was at the front entrance of the Circus Vargas big top Illinois. I talked to him a little bit, and told him I was headed to Bloomington, Illinois to talk with Lorraine Valentine, and deliver some Chef Pierre cakes for Cherie. He told me to say hi to Lorraine for him, which I did. Lorraine was happy he had said hello. I really enjoyed talking with Lorraine, she was a pleasure to talk with.
