as the pie car waiter

Chic.
This was not taken in the Pie Car but in Long Beach, California in 1975 when Jim Parker was in the Navy and invited Gunther Gebel, Henry Shroer, Lou Jacobs, Rudi & I aboard the War ship to meet the Captain.
We all were “whistled” on board and had a very interesting tour of the Ship. The Captain later came to the Circus and I have pictures of him with Bob Dover and one of our baby chimps.

Thanks Sue I could tell it wasn't

the pie car by the photo background

That doorway has a nautical look

I just used that expression but I

am happy to know the full story

Hope you are both doing well

Please send the photos to Buckles

Your story Sue reminds me of a

similar situation during 2 of

the years in San Juan working

for Jimmy Harrington when I had

become friends with an officer

on the cruise ship "Skyward"

We invited several of the ship's

officers to Circo Panamericano

& they in turn invited several

of our performers back to their

ship for the midnight buffet &

dancing in the nightclub as the

ship didn't leave until 3 AM

That Puerto Rico date was a real

pleasure for about 5 to 6 weeks

with only an 8 PM show 5 nights

then 2 & 8 Saturday but the real

killer was on Sunday with 3 shows

at 10:30 (bleary eyed) 2 & 7:30
