Clyde Beatty, I met him when I was about 10 years old, one of my greatest childhood thrills.

Got to hold this bathrobe on occasion when Clyde worked the act. Big thrill for this kid.

I couldn't even spell circus

in 1961 when I had my first

opportunity as a spotlight

operator in Commack to witness

this greatest of all cat acts

I remain grateful for those

early 60s while he performed

I heard my father say that Mr. Beatty was the best man he ever worked for.

Buckles, Tommy Hannerford told me the same thing once.
