From Paul Gutheil

White Plains, Great show!!   Tim with four bulls, Grumpy's pigs, Ian Garden Sr with White Camels,
        no cat act as Vicenta apparently lost the transmission on her semi.
            Grandma featured,  globe, high wire, aerials, Poema family doing a great couple of turns and more.

I'm bummed I forgot they were going to be there this weekend I had wanted to go, and maybe get Barry to sign his book. Hope it was a good show

I was at last night's (Saturday) 6:PM performance. Enjoyed the show butI thought it strange that there was no the cage act. Thank you Paul for the information on what happened to cage act and Vicenta Pages. I really would have liked to have seen her. Does anyone know if she presented in any of the remaining shows?

Paul Gutheil said...

Henry, I wish I had known you were there last night as I was too. I would have very much have liked to have met you face to face.
I believe Vicenta is with Hanneford for awhile and pretty sure she will be in Morristown , NJ (Mennen Arena) in May, Salaam Shrine Circus.
I am going back to White Plains again today, last shows at 10-2 + 6. Best, P.

And Barry "Grandma" did his usual terrific work.

Barry Lubin was an early & a very

successful Clown College graduate

He has tried a few times to retire

to Switzerland where his wife lives

but he remains in demand & enjoys

working (some of the time)

Is Vincenta Georges daughter

Henry Penndorf said...

Hi Paul, It is too bad that we didn't know that we would be at the same performance. It would have been fun to meet.

Do you live in the Westchester area? With the snow today, were you able to make it back to circus?

Henry

Barry Lubin lives in Sweden, not Switzerland, part of the time. Check his website for further details about his career etc.

Hello Chic, Vicenta's parents are Jorge (George) Pages and Frieda Logan Pages. Frieda Logan Pages is Fred Logan's daughter and Vicenta his granddaughter.

Barry Lubin is NOT married and he now lives back in the USA(NJ) and he was indeed in the show and in fact the featured icon in all the advertising; I sent Buckles a pic of the poster which was also all over the local papers. Henry, I live in NE NJ: up the Garden State Parkway and over the Tappan Zee Bridge, the old one , new one under construction looks massive. Going up today, Monday, weather was in teens and OK, I left the Civic Center going on 10, wet snow, rain, ice, lousy visibility roads terrible. Fortunately most, repeat most, there were still a few AH's on the road, were going 35 -45 MPH. By the grace of God I got home OK and fishtailed up my driveway. We'll figure something out for next time.

Pardon me : Damnit, I did mention that Grandma was featured. Anyone who does not know who GRANDMA is should not be on this wonderful Blog!

Chic Silber said...


Thanks Henry as I knew that Frieda

was married to George (Jorge) but

I wasn't sure about Vincenta

Chic Silber said...


Sweden Switzerland & New Jersey

I get them mixed up all the time

Haven't seen Barry in many years

ever since he WAS married

Chic Silber said...


Some folks subscribe to this

great sandbox of Buckles to

learn about stuff like that

Please don't send them away

Paul but keep teaching them

Was there a live band Paul

& does Ian own the camels

Hi Paul, Very happy you made home safely. Been there, done that. Due to the unpredictable weather this time of year I usually wait until the last minute making plans to see the Hanneford Circus.

I live in Westchester, 20-25 minutes from the County Center. I can't recall how many years I have been going to see the Hanneford Circus there. I have some good memories from those times.

Do you remember Hanneford's predecessors at the County Center? The Pan American Circus and the Shrine Circus? I saw a young Wade Burck there with the Shrine Circus.

I can never get enough of "Grandma". eBay is offering a "Grandma" bobblehead.
