Welcome to Buckles Blog. This site is for the discussion of Circus History all over the world.
The fellow standing on the right is Bill Farmer
I believe that's John Schweitzer in the ring (shirtless) crackerjack rigger & splice master either drunk or sober a helluva guy
I recall Bob Reynolds checking all the lines & with a pocket knife he would cut any faulty ends at the splice & tell either Tommy Clarke or Schweitzer to resplice them They were both something to watch All 3 of them had come from RBBB when McClosky & Kernan took over
This is 1961 or 1962. I see Bob Top's rigging under the tent.
