From Bill Powell #2

Gee Gee Powell performed with Circus Atayde in 1965 during the christmas show in December for a month long engagement. She may have also been contracted for a couple other cities during the truncated tour. She was a center ring attraction with her magnificent Alaskan Husky dog sled act and featured in the center on the program book. I scanned the cover and her page. Sadly when she and my father returned from Mexico they divorced in 1966 after a 20 year marriage and she was never to perform as Powell again. After the split she took her maiden name, Engesser, for a couple years before marrying elephant trainer Robert "Bucky" Steele.
