More Anna May #4

Detroit Shrine 1962. Posing with "Anna May" are Barbara, Bob McNea and Candy Cavaretta. McNea was the local "Bozo" and possibly the only one that ever trouped with a circus. We were both with Garden Bros. in Canada of which he was a citizen.

This photo was taken at the Omaha Shrine Date in 1962. If you look closely you can see the mark on Ben's throat he received while zipping around the basement on a skate board and  didn't duck under the guard rope in time.

1914 Sells-Floto #1

On my way to bed last night I checked the Blog and discovered that the anti-virus people had shut the machine down again. This morning I called Shannon and after he dropped off the kids at the bus stop and he got it cranked up again. So I entered this stuff from a Floto Show program which is quicker since no dialogue is required. Had my yearly check up, EKG? at the Cardiologists yesterday and he proclaimed that I was good for another 10,000 miles assuming computer failures don't finish me off sooner.

Continuing your feature on CANNONS...One of the most durable, reliable thrill acts in circus history: RBBB encored various Zacchini acts many times over the years, going back to the tent show, and continuing with the Zacchini Sisters in the late 1950s, our old pal and all-around circus guy Walter Patterson in the early 60s, who worked as a Zacchini, and Emmanuel ("Lally") Zacchini Jr. and wife who worked the act in the 1970's/100th Anniv. show and also experienced a bad accident in Jacksonville. Lally continued the act in NYC.
