AL G KELLY & MILLER BROS CIRCUS 1966 #4 (FROM JIM ELLIOTT)
John Carroll in foreground, Robert D. Cline in background And last but not least Capt. Freddie Logan, Fighting Lions
I was on Kelly Miller in 64...Donny McIntosh broke me in on Floss. Fred Logan fell off the elephant and had his leg in a cast but he went into the lion cage and worked them anyway. A TATTOO ARTIST NAMED Renbrandt joined the show and tattooed a bunch of guys... I recall John Carroll had the 1964 route card tattooed on his arm.
