WALLACE BROS CIRCUS--1961 #4 (FROM JIM ELLIOTT)

  1. Boy, does this bring back memories, Dick. Truck in the third photo, sure I slept in during my six-week tenture as a "clown" with the show in '61. A hard upper bunk,others who rode were musicians. Those were adventurous days, trying to sleep thru all the fresh excitement while the truck wove ominously this way and through up and down Pennsylvania mountains. Amazed I am still alive!

  2. My great grandpa worked with this circus, I have a bunch of old pictures that were given to him later on.
