unsupported ladders & juggling

as well as teterbord but when

I moved to Sarasota in 72 Tony

& Val were running the elegant

dining room in what was then the

Sheraton Sandcastle on the beach

Toni and Val, along with the rest of the Bisbini/Antonette troupe worked on my dad's show (TNT & Royal Olympic Circus) back in about 1968, doing both their teeterboard and juggling acts. Toni was 8 months pregnant at the time and still jumping off the pedestal and bounding from the teeterboard! We threw a baby shower for her in Mount Prospect, IL, I recall. She was a very sweet gal.
