I saw the obit on Paul Miller. He gave me my first job as a wirewalker in 1962 and it was on his show I met the people who helped me get started in the circus. I don't know how many people remember his show, but it was what the story described. While I was there George Bruno ( breakaway pole) and Tommy Hanneford's riding act (his father's act at that time) were there among others. It's a time I will never forget. Eddy Ventura
