Buckles said that Louis Stern

was his very favorite boss

Louis Stern was the angel we all pray for, and the one who most benefited Pat Anthony. He channeled money into Pat's act, and in the house and barn Pat eventually had in Riverview, Florida. A previous angel for Pat had been a former circus performer and later financial agent, Walker Dick. He got Pat off to a great start with a big mixed act, which at one time numbered 22 animals--this from his 17-year assistant, Bill Johnston. In later years, it was Stern who backed Pat with the supportive funds and the long-range contract. I sought an angel like Stern for 20 years, and one never came to be, but one like this man had to be everyone's favorite boss.
