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!
When I learned that Circus Krone had aquired two young female White Lions I put in a request for a photo, as usual the request was granted far beyond expectations!!!!
OUR SINCERE THANKS TO EVA MAYERHOFER, DR. MATZENAU, & CHRISTEL SEMBACH KRONE, FOR THE FOLLOWING PHOTOS.
DIAMOND & PRINCESS
Here they are shortly after their arrival in March, 2007, at the age of 15 months.

Bill, great series. Thanks for sharing them with your readers.
I traveled to Germany on business a lot in the 70s, 80s, and 90s.
I had the impression that German audiences appreciated what I call the good old-fashioned circus (as I knew it as a kid) with lots of wild animals, elephants, horses, chimps, etc. Circus Krone seems to be keeping the great old tradition alive. I hope you will include more slides and stories from your time with Krone. Thank you. --- ToddP
