From Don Covington


Hamid 1977, originally uploaded by bucklesw1.

Hi Buckles,

I inherited boxes of slides from a circus fan's collection in Ohio.

This one was labeled Hamid Circus 1977.

Do you recognize the trainer? Is it Fred Logan?

Thanks,

Don


"That is indeed Freddy on Beatty- Cole with "Debbie", "Missy" and "Omii".
The year might be right since these punks were imported in 1974 but I don't see how Hamid would fit into the picture.
This has been flopped."

Thanks Buckles,

I couldn't make the Hamid connection either. The shot is obviously under canvas and that is certainly Fred.

I tried to blow up the image, John, but the original slide is not that sharp. Perhaps someone will recognize the red coveralls and help us out.

Don,
There is no need to blow up anything in this picture as to see Fred logan, the worker in the red jump suit, and all that rigging around him.
The answer real quick is the Clyde Beatty-Cole Bros Circus and I will bet money on it.
