Great photos of circus history almost brought to life. So many stories about just those photos. We heard that Reed rode a Brahma on the "hike". Now we see it. plus Nemo and the infamous herd and great old Mrtyle. You hit the jackpot on this. Keep up the good work. Thanks, Johnny

The RBBB and Cole outfit staff jobs were filled with veterans who remained until retirement or death, so ambitious younger showmen gravitated to Dailey, where opportunity abounded. It is that phenomenon that resulted in a lot of Dailey personnel surviving until this day, sharing memories of what transpired in those sleepers and elsewhere on the Dailey show.
