From Billie Schuller

jugact1, originally uploaded by bucklesw1. As long as this is a "Henderson" day might as well throw this one in. Lew, Billie and Peggy. From Buckles My wife sometimes checks out the Blog from her computer and mentioned that her family and the Hendersons were good friends and in fact two of her sisters Billie and Peggy were named after the two ladies pictured above. She also talked about the time in 1952 Tommy O'Brien got Rex and her a job at the Memphis Zoo. They parked their trailer at the Fairgrounds and one evening she heard some music coming from one of the buildings which turned out to be Rabbit Foot Minstrals in rehearsal. She was fascinated by the dance numbers and astonished by the amount of time and repetition it took to put the show together. Dailey Bros. took one run-thru. Having little money and being pregnant with Ben she visited regularly and was always made welcome. She said she hated to see them leave to go on the road.
