FOR JOHN H. THIS IS THE YOUNG WIRE WALKER FLETCHER RUNYON
This is the young man I was referring to on the trivia post, I haven't seen him work, but Joanne says he is very vibrant, & has a good act. He stayed here a few days and I do know he is very industrious, polite, and was quick to jump in and help with what ever we were doing.
Fletcher Runyon
Notice the rigging detail, probably a portable rigging.
Split
Nice elevation, good split.
FOWARD SOMERSAULT
Fletcher got his start with San Diego's Fern Street Circus, and learned to walk wire under Pietro Canestrelli.

I think I just vanished my question. Rats. It was: We had a Runyon family with us at Jungleland, 1965-1969. The son, Randy, juggled and did unicycle. His father, Chuckie, was the hit local TV clown in Los Angeles. Is Fletcher any kin to our Runyons?
Fetch Fletcher
In today's shows I never thought the day would come you'd have to have a photo to explain what a rigger or a web is. What is a Canestrelli trampoline act? Now adays I come out of a show saying,"Did you see that guy? He did a full cartwheel!". I saw Fletcher on Billy Martin's show, what a shock! This kid turns flips and actually cuts monkey shines and didoes. What a breath of fresh air!

Fletcher is the only one of his family in the business!
