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!

This was supposed to have been Jacqueline as "Jane", but again because of her injuries from the Rocket accident Tarzan substituted for her.

I beieve this wheel was later bought by Joe baur and is still worked by his son. "Dominicks Wheel of Thrills"
Now I feel a little dumb, I just did a brief history of Wheels for the Circus 4 Youth web site & I know although I didn't cover that in the story, Lee & I did discuss it. I may be wrong but I think Dominic has the Luxem Wheel, now I'll have to check that out.
By the way, you can visit Leigh's new web site at:

Dominic's wheel was the second one built by the inventor Clay Beckett, it was bought by Hennie "Celeste" Luxem, & worked by her nephew Johnny, due to a disagreement she took the wheel back & sold it to Giraldos, it was later purchased by Bauer.
