Still More Circus Notables!

While I was at the Ringling Park, Hoxie Bros. showed nearby. After doing the morning chores, Ted, Gary and I jumped in my car and drove over just in time to see Bobby Cline and Leo Antwhistle laying out the lot.
I took the picture which accounts for it's lack of clarity.
For some reason I don't remember going back for the performance, I may have been otherwise occupied that day.

That is the "stance" I'll always remember Ted for.

My guess would be about 1973, before Ted, Gary and Bobby headed over to the Beatty show. Am I close?

And if anyone sees Gary could ya ask him to give me a yell? Still like to cut up a few more jackpots with him

The park opened in 1974.
I was there thru '77. Gary was also there at the start, Ted came later from the Beatty Show and both were with me when the elephants were transferred to the Blue Show.
