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.
