Les Kimris appeared at the Cleveland Grotto Circus many, many times over the years. (Public Auditorium had a very high ceiling and was ideally suited for their act.) I saw them perform there in 1962 when I was in high school. They were also back again in 1973 while I was off serving in Vietnam. (Was it always the same performers, or was the act passed down to younger family members?) |

Bill and Trudy Strong picked up the act after retirement of the folks in the photo.
1963 would have still been Lee & Henri, Trudy & I took over in the fall of '64.
We practiced twice a day for a month, in one of the buildings at the Trenton Fairgrounds, being taught every move by them. We debuted the act that year in Evansville's Hadi Temple Shrine Circus.
