Hi Kenny,
Thanks for the great photos and you adding to this great blog.
Please send more in the future and add your comments as many of us fans would like to hear the way it was and learn more information on our circus hobby, before in the future it goes to the grave, gone and forgotten.

What a wonderful subject for todays blog. Thanks Kenny. Her story is amazing in that she chose to do a routine made famous by one of circusdoms all time great and would follow in the footsteps of her equally famous father and do it she did. In spades. At she practiced at a young age this extremely difficult act and would debut and be featured still a teenager. And she continued on for many seasons and went out "on top" as her wrist had been sore and painful for quite some time, but she continued to still do aerial presentations. I like to think of her as a friend and recently sat with her during our annual "ring of fame" induction and she still looks great and has that wonderful persona and wry sense of humour.

A side note: Her father, The incredidtable Unus, would assist her in holding the web, etc. In a tuxedo and believe me no one ever had the dignity and class of a aerial assist;web sitter as Vicky. I remember it well.

Yes Kenny I agree that wqe would enjoy so much your offerings on "the Blog" from your fabulous career and great memory of circus past.I am getting that from our celebrity meetings and very impressive. Again thanks to you and Buckles for this nice segment. And yes indeed Happy Birthday and the best to you. Always. johnny

Ditto John on Unus. A class act. The Moroskys and him ate our our house one time. Later he had my Dad give me a rescued baby rabbit from the lot at Wilkes Barre. I named it Little Unus. It was my first experience with losing something close to me.

Last saw him and Vickie on Circus Krone in 1968.
