About Me
- Name: 24-HOUR-MAN

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!

I think the girl on the left is none other than Aurelia Hall!! ? That would then be Joe Zoppe at the back....Mr. Lee
I believe you are right, & the youngster in the center is Joe's brother Enrico.
At times they would be known as the Auralia Troupe, but tey were the Great Zoppe-Zavatta troupe of bareback riders and have spawned some of the great performers and animal trainers in our business. Need I say more.
Back row: L.to R.,Oglie Zavatta, Alfonso, a cousin, then Secondo Zoppe (Joe's father),Front row L.to R.
Kico Zoppe, Aurelia Zavatta, Dianna Zoppe (Joe's mom), next Alfonso's mom. I do not recall her name. Then Rafalle Zoppe AKA Bobo who later on had the bull dogs doing the bull fighting routine who's wife was Tanid Akio. As a child, she was one of the nicest ladies I ever knew.
I hope I didn't lose anyone's comment while I was reviewing them before posting. I'm not used to that proceedure.
Jimmy: I guess we can safely say Joe looked like his father, sure had me fooled. Thank You!
