Phil and Francine were trained for the Flying Apollos by Bob Yerkes, and all concerned tried valiantly to make a flyer out of George Plimpton for his TV special. Phil told me George was a great guy, who finally made it back to the board from a feets-across. As we all recall, Phil and Francine had a 1st Class cradle act that I would not necessarily call a "2nd act". They were superb in all they did.; 25 January, 2019 15:37
