About Me
- Name: 24-HOUR-MAN
- Location: GIBSONTON, FLORIDA, United States
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!

Requested from the ring tailed lemur; (AKA Hell's Angel wannabe), this act, I believe would be Eugene Leclur. I remember these folks. Also they sold their Beck commercial highway bus to the great Arturos. They used to advertise Homosasis Springs. It was painted on the roof of the coach. It was quite a rig in its day with a 450 red diamond, same as the old Zachini Diamond Rio canons.
phew glad we got that cleares up!
I thought that they were Betty and Fritz Huber.... I miss seeing Betty on our yearly trip to the Willmington Fair,,,Mr.Lee
