Although a captioned photo below

shows a Wallenda troupe the only

names I see shown on this list are

Joe Geiger & Phillip & Madeline Kreis

Had they split to work another show

Was Willie Kraus with the Wallendas

Karl's 1st wife Martha is shown as

already married to JY at this time

I believe she committed suicide in 51

These lists have special interest. They give us the real names of many we knew by stage names. If not true family names, at least some are names used overseas, and were accepted on passports. This list stops at the "O"s. Are there more on other pages?

Thanks Roger I should have noticed

Makes good sense why names are missing

Kenny gave me a set of 4 original RB

hard bound route books from 64 to 68

They have a tremendous amount of info

including so many original names

In the Route Book there are two names that were Legal Family names, not show names. They are John B. LeClercq and John E. LeClercq listed. There show names in the same order are also known ass, Jack LeClaire (and son) Jackie LeClaire. Love, Jackie LeClaire

Higher mathematics still confuses me
