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.
