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 NERVELESS NOCKS AND THE FEARLESS BAUERS
ZACCHINI'S HUMAN MISSLE ROCKET CANNON
There was a change after the program was printed & the Wainrights did not make the date, a single jump was made by Paul Creason.
THANK YOU FOR ATTENDING THE WORLD PREMIERE PRESENTATION OF, "CIRCUS AMERICA"
I would advise checking this site once in a while because I will be adding to it as stories come to mind.

It's a good job you don't get paid by the hour!
Wonderful pictures....wonderful memories...
Hope this message gets published, my first message must be flying around in space...LOL
John: Yes, The news media covered it extensively, like an old fashioned Circus War. It was our understanding at the time there was a disagreement over concessions. The year was 1974.
Fatima: Your comments are all the pay I need.
What an incredible line up of acts! I, of course, am in awe of the aerial acts all on the same show. Look how many heel and toe trapeze performers!
