This young man is Mike Rice, now a great animal trainer appearing on the Cole Bros Circus this season. This picture was taken on the King Bros Circus and the year shall remain a mystery.

Is that ok Mike?

C. J. MATCHETTS-KING BROS CIRCUS (Bobby Cox)

C J Matchetts was Superintentant and Concession Manager on the King Bros Circus.

Matchetts, as we used to call him, was the Hoxie Show back in the mid-60's when Bill and I first met him. And in later years we used to run into him around Tampa. He was a fine Gentleman, quiet and soft-spoken but a great concession manager and super.

Here's Matchetts checking out a Ringling Show gravesite in Wahpeton, ND.

Two Big Top hands were killed by lightning during teardown there in 1898 and the show bought this grave stone marker for them.
