Roger Smith said...: What a good guy. He was with us on Beatty-Cole, in '81. When we played Waco, Texas, he had become suspicious that abdominal pain might be leading to a hernia. I took him to my surgeon there, who fortunately determined that he didn't need surgery. Vashek continued the season in fine form. He carefully filmed and tape-recorded the sights and sounds of the show that year against the day when it might all be gone forever. He came over to tape the feeding of Hoover's cats as part of capturing those sounds that might one day vanish from circus lots. As we say good-bye to a great trouper, let us remain thankful his archives hold these memories in safety for us all.
