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!
Written on the back is the following,
Lillian Wilson,Left
Norma Rogers, Center
Jewel Poplin, Right
"This is 3 of the menage horses,they use 10 in the number.
The owners daughter Norma in Center".
I don't know the year or the show but maybe John H., or Buckles W. can enlighten us.

Ray Rogers York South Carolina based Barnett or Wallace Bros. Charlie Poplins wife Jewell, from the Rhinehart family. Owners daughter Norma, married at one time to Mac Macdonald and also Lee Powell [the Lone Ranger] and sister of Helene Hartzel. Bill Hill's father in-law, Texas Ted Lewis was horse trainer and cowboy. Allen Hill's mother, Dorothy was also in that number.
Buckles mother, Sadie [Babe] was probably in that number as well. Buckles would know much more.
Buckles MOM's name was SARAH. I named one of my lions after her.
