No guy-lines--I'm trying to see how that pyramid is stabilized.

This is German trainer Doris Arndt, who presented this bear act on Circus Krone. Ms Arndt passed away last month at the age of 88.

G'day Chic and Don,

Many years ago in Australia I worked with Doris Arndt's brother - Alfons.

Subsequently, over the years we met up from time to time during our travels.

I haven't seen for quite a while now - do either of you know if he is still with us?

Regards,

Steve Robinson

Sorry Steve but I can't be of any help

I hadn't known of her (or him) until today

Many years ago I had opportunity to work

for Michael Edgley in Australia both in

legitimate theater as well as in circus

I've thoroughly enjoyed my many visits

including several East Coast cities &

out on the Great Barrier Reef
