NO. I only worked the Paramont Bears with JC in Hull, Quebec. Only that one time for a TV show on a saturday We wore TAILS. I was much younger and smaller then this. Never a blond. Never in Europe with JC. I think that covers it.

Herta Klauser, a.k.a. Mrs. Cuneo? Judging from Rebecca's commment, I guess I'm right.

JC told me once his real love was for the bears of all animals. Insurance got too high along with all the regulation so he went to other animals. He had some at the Zoo at Hawthorn Mellody Farms. The Zoo was supposed to be a tax break for the farm. {It was a free zoo} JC took over and made too much money selling food for the public to feed the animals. Never had to pay for food after a while.

One gal left out here. She was blonde and worked the horse fantasy for JC before Herta around 1965. I know her first name only . I challenge the JC historical group. I personally worked on shows with #1 Eloise, #2 Patricia Jamison, #3 ???????? and #4 Herta. The photo posted I would say was taken around 1970 of Herta, John and BooBoo the bear. One of 4 bears left from her father, Walter, that Herta trained.

No idea if Mr. Cuneo suffers thru this Blog or not but if so, it must be like receiving a daily copy of the National Enquirer.

KITTY KELLY Book more like it. He said he uses the computer for business only. Wonder if this MONKEY BUSINESS qualifies. Herta would get a kick out of the blog I think.

I am a friend of Rebecca A in Granite City IL. I found this link as an email she shared with me 10 years ago.
Bad NEWS: She was recently evicted from her home and it will be demolished very soon. She is sleeping outside of the home and will soon become homeless.
Worse NEWS: The city took all of her cats and dogs. This happened while she was away and she didn't even get a chance to tell them goodbye.
I went by to see her the other day and she looks very skinny and dark circles under her eyes. I don't think she has the will to live, especially after her court date in another week or so.
I'm not sure if those of you who know her have any idea of something that will encourage her to move on under her current situation. If someone can rescue her from her terrible situation, that would be great.
Her needs consist of a place to live. Prior to the city taking her animals, moving would not have been an option. But at this bleak time in her life, I would think she might welcome a change of location especially if it included the interaction with animals of some type. I will check this website periodically and hope someone can rescue her after she has provided rescue to so many unwanted animals in our community.
Sincerely, Rebecca's friend.
