Roger, that's me! This is Cristiani-Wallace in Pittsfield, Mass., Wahconah Park lot, and the year is 1963, I believe. My dad, on a business trip from our home outside Springfield, Mass., on his way to Vermont, left me there for the day. Kuhn was very kind and gave me a whip handle and a clawed and broken chair leg, both of which which I still have. My account (and this photo) of visiting the show a few times appeared in the Nov-Dec 2011 issue of Bandwagon as a sidebar story to Lane Talburt's life story of Pete Cristiani.

Captain Eddie Kuhn, L, had his cats on Cristiani. I can't ID the boy.

Just checked the Bandwagon article (pp. 22-23) and the year was 1962, no '63. I not yet 14.
