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!

Ninette, was this Pifka the other catcher in the Haslevs Trampoline Act. I know Little Pifka was the "flyer". He used to do swingtime somersaults on the trampoline till you got tired of counting.
