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!
These are some of many photos of acts from the collection of Ninette Theron & her late husband Les Parker, who many of us remember for his great Breakaway Sway Pole Act, & even greater personality, he was taken from us much too soon.

This is a Cuneo act from early 70's. The elephant is Joyce.
The elephant is Siam, Joyce was used later for this act after Siam died.
I wish Bill had stayed in the business longer. He was a real asset, and often underrated. The costumes John had made for him were beautiful. Wade Burck
