"Hugo" #14



Center Ring act on the Blue Show 1979.
On the bottom "Carmen" and "Peggy"
Flanked by "Hugo" and "Gilda"
and surmounted by "Zina" and Shannon Woodcock.
This was the season after Ben left so Barbara worked this act alone while Ted and I presented the end ring acts.

I always find it hard to believe that elephant spines aren't damaged when stood on like this.
I guess the topmounter weight is spread out on all four feet so that helps.

Buckles has anyone done this since you? I sure haven't seen it on anything in the NE.
Damn impressive!

The guy at left is the late "Rammy Sammy" Haddock whose wife caused all that heat up at the farm.
