Herta Klauser. This grand lady endowed the desperately-needed restoration of the commemorative plaques for the circus world's Ring of Fame, on St. Armand's Circle.
Roger, Perhaps you might recall the name of the gentleman that had a pig act at Jungleland. The last time I saw Mabel there his act was either just before or just after Mabel's cats. I have tried to find information on him but to no avail. Would appreciate knowing more. Thanks
JEFF: you're thinking of Roland Raffler. He was on Beatty-Cole as far back as 1960 with pigs. At Jungleland, he also had acts of tropical birds, and goats. He had a long history of picture work. I last visited Roland 2 years ago. He is going strong, and twice a year drives himself from his home in the California canyons to check out his farmlands in Missouri.
