Casual attire in the

Nick Troffer style

Roger Smith said...

I don't know who Nick Troffer is, but blue jeans and lace-up sneakers reflect at once on the production values of the Feld sisters.

Nicholas Troffer who performs

under the name of Nik Wallenda

is the son of Delilah Zoppe &

her husband Terry Troffer

He is the grandson of Jenny

Wallenda who was married to

Alberto Zoppe (1st husband)

He is the great grandson of

Karl Wallenda who died before

Nicholas was born

Casual attire including jeans

is his standard show wardrobe

By the way their father never

put his daughter's names above

the title as presenters as did

his father then father & son

& before the body was cold he

removed his father's name

The tale of the last years

of Big Bertha reminds me of

Eugene O'Neil's famous play

"Long Day's Journey Into Night"

(with appolgies to O'Neil)

Interesting data--I had taken it for granted Nik Wallenda was his inherited family name.

As I've noted before, CHIC knows more about show people than Ancestry.com.

I'm reminded of a line included daily in Earl Wilson's gossip columns. Of a clever quip from a notable, he'd say, "Wish I'd Said That". CHIC's comparison of RB's decline to "Long Day's Journey Into Night" fits as a keeper.
