HOWDY, MY NAME IS BILL STRONG, I'LL BE YOUR "24 HOUR MAN", ROUTING YOU INTO THE PAST TO SEE WHAT THE CIRCUS WAS IN DAYS GONE BY. IF YOU'RE LIKE ME, AND MISS WHAT IT USED TO BE, THEN COME ON ALONG AS WE GO DOWN THE ROAD FOLLOWING THE ARROWS BACKWARDS, TO "YESTERDAY'S TOWNS"! IF YOU HAVE CIRCUS RELATED PICTURES YOU WOULD LIKE POSTED, SEND THEM TO,,,,yesterday1@verizon.net,,,,AND WE WILL TRY TO FIT THEM IN. "24 HOUR MAN" WILL HAVE THE FINAL DECISION ON POSTING.
Three years at CWM made me a real traditionalist, and I keep remembering Bob Parkinson saying, "I want the people to see what the circus used to be, not what it is today. That's what this site is about!
She did a Heel & Toe Trapeze Act in the 1950's. Notice the Kerosene can on the ground, how many of you remember turning on the kerosene heater and forgetting to light it, then have to reach in the dirty, sooty, heater with newspapers to sop up the excess, so you wouldn't burn the trailer down?!

This is Helene Hendricks, wife of Eddie Hendricks, the last time I saw him he had a Dog Act on Hoxie Bros. There is a classic picture of Eddie in the story National Geographic did on the Hoxie show.
