BILLY MARTIN'S COLE ALL STAR CIRCUS #1

This was the first year that Billy took over the Cole Show from Mr Cole.
This picture was taken in Utica, NY Shrine Temple.
The year was either 1988 or 89.

Here's brother Bill spinning Floss being assisted by
Brend Galloway.
Brenda did Single Trapeze and cloud swing on in the show.
Her Dad is New York Circus Fan Bill Galloway.

That year John "Eggroll" Kane helped Dick in the Novelty Stand
when he visited the show.

  1. Hi Dick! Thank you for posting the photo of Brenda. I e-mailed her to check out your blog site. She is teaching dancing in Fairfax,VA.
    Thanks for the mention of my name. Bev and I just visited with Billy and Angela on the Royal Hanneford Circus at the York PA fair. He put on a great show. Standing room only at all three shows each day.
