PARADES OF THE PAST: Jim Ridenour has relocated from Sarasota to Indiana. Jim, was able to make the VEGAS CFA Convention last month. Jim's doing well and still enjoying the circus. Jim wrote a series of articles for Circus Report sometime back on the season baby sitting Tiny Tim for Allan Hill and his Circus..Have been looking for the complete set of stories without success. Any help would be appreciated.

Picture was taken on the old Milwaukee circus lot. At the time I was parked near the back door of Allan Hills Circus and heard Tiny Tim sing "Tip Toe Thru the Tulips" what seem like 200 times that week. Well, each night while attempting to fall asleeep all that went through my head was Tiny Tim singing "Tip Toe Thru the Tulips."
