Wallace Bros. Circus 1937/"Buckles"


Apropos to the statement made by Rebecca beneath yesterday's pictue of my mother, I'm sure everyone in the world is aware that I got the nick name "Buckles" from wearing a harness so I wouldn't wander off the lot.
To the casual observer I am reading the NY Times when in actuality I am devising a means of escape. My favorite ruse was to ask a town kid to untie me and I would show him which trailer the Lone Ranger lived in.
