Can that be old Whitey?

I failed to mention that this is another of Robert Perry's pictures however I might add that Ole Whitey is equally as handsome.

Richard's just rattling your chain, Buckles.

He knows that my good looks are only matched by my modesty.

In my day [one of the good old days] working for Robert Perry's family, I would have been the subject of negative reinforcement for leaving someone else's dates visible on this stand! Steve Robinson.

Nobody's recalled that Quincey, IL, was the winterquarters of Buckles's great ancestor (by marriage), show owner and erstwhile Barnum partner (1886-87) W.W. Cole. And, of course, it was Cole who ran the B&B show for the short time after Bailey's death before it was sold to the Ringlings.

i can remember well arriving at the clyde beatty lot from our motel about 6-30 am we were only there about 5 minutes and were offered a job on the tent we told them we travelled 12000 miles to get away from working on tents. was a great experience and i could not believe how fast the US shows move our shows here now about a month in every location.

Buckles,
Sound's like your at the festival, what with all that heavy duty name dropping Mr. Flint is doing for you.
