For a number of years in the 80s

Emil was a lead stagehand in the

Majestic Theater in San Antonio

He was living in a German enclave

in New Braunfels not to far away

Right, Chic. I was in San Antonio then, and Bill Johnston and I used to drive over to New Braunfels, take Peggy MacDonald to dinner, and spend the evening with fantastic jackpots with her, Emil and Hannah, and their family. And I mean, those were jackpots.

There is another poster just like this one with a bullet of Pallenberg Sr's face on it and I have been looking for a copy for a while.During a visit with Shane Johnson last summer at his place, he said "I picked up somthing for you but the glass got broke ",and he handed me a framed copy of this poster, the one with Sr.Pallenberg on it.I sure owe him a trip to DQ, on Tues.when the Beltbusters are on sale, for this one.

They spent multiple seasons on Ringling as a big feature. Son Emil Jr. was the one who lived and tipped a few in New Braunfels. He had a bear act after his father and played dates. Quite a character, bot he and wife.
