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!

The unidentified clown with Michelle is Eddie Dullum--but 1952 Ringling? I though Eddie was on the Beatty show for '52...? Maybe someone can nail the show for sure.
do you mean mother Dullum????
j-p.
Right. Eddie Bruce "Mother" Dullum, who enjoyed saying they wanted to do Mother's story on THIS IS YOUR LIFE, but they couldn't get the Los Angeles Coliseum for all of Mother's husbands.
