Ringmaster Parley Baer

Ringmaster Parley Baer0001, originally uploaded by bucklesw1. Parley Edward Baer, 14 August 1914 - 22 November 2002 This great and good man, friend to all who met him, circus boss and Ringmaster to many, passed away to complications of a second stroke, at Motion Picture Hospital, in Woodland Hills, California, eight years ago. Ten of us, family and friends, were with him. His daughter, Kim, pronounced him at 10:45 p.m. Parley had over 150 roles in feature films, 1,700 television appearances, and one historian/fan told him he had lost count at over 15,000 credits Parley accumulated in Old Time Radio. It is a sad anniversary to mark his passing, but a true celebration of a magnificent career that he enjoyed for over 65 of his 88 years. God rest him. Roger Smith "Due to an oversight by either Roger or myself, we managed to blow the anniversary date. Normally I would apologize but Parley had such a great sense of humor I'm sure he would have found something amusing, even in this." Buckles
