JACKIE said...: When I was around them, they were very young. I know the first guy and maybe the rest, are from the Valentine family. Jackie LeClaire; 24 May, 2016 16:42
Roger Smith said...: Maximillian Sandovinci was an orphan who was adopted by Mr. and Mrs. Bill Valentine. They named him Raymond, and taught him the flying act. The rest of the business called him "Slick". He stands at L, with Barbara Ray, his sister Rosie Valentine, and Billy Woods.; 25 May, 2016 15:54
4pawfan said...: Hello Roger, We were trying to remember Mrs. Valentine's first name. I guess Bill's first wife maybe? She lived here in Houston and would attended our local meetings in the 1970's. The local ring was named after her and Mr. May. (Valentine/May Ring if I remember correctly). thanks p.j.; 25 May, 2016 17:59
Roger Smith said...: PJ: I don't recall knowing Mrs. Bill Valentine's first name. Nor do I know if Rosie and brother Billy G were all Valentines, or adopted like Slick.; 27 May, 2016 17:41
Michael Valentine said...: Well my comment is a little bit late, but William Valentine's wife's name was Doris. He was my grandfather. His first son William G was my father. Rosie and Ray (Max) were Doris' children and Bill senior adopted them.; 09 August, 2021 20:39
