FROM MIKE NAUGHTON:

Very Sad News about an already sad situation.Doris, one of the Golden Carlos Twins was killed in an auto accident last month. While her sister Karen was driving, Doris' passenger dooropened and while attempting to reach and close the door she was pulled from vehicle. The Golden Carlos Twins were a top act in their day, notably Circus Vargas and several major Shrine dates here in the USA.Unfortunately in recent years they have worked as street performers and passing the hat.The youtube link shows the twins performing outside a restaurant.

Showfolks of Sarasota has set up a fund to accept donations for Karen. La Norma Fox has been a very close friend of the twins and will be assisted by Aureila Nock in collecting and documenting the donations.
If you would like to assist, please send your donation, payable to Showfolks of Sarasota (please indicate "Carlos Twins Fund") and send to:PO Box 1476, Sarasota, Florida 34230. Online donations can be made at showfolksclub.com, please indicate "Carlos Twins Fund" in the special instructions box.
For those of you who know the Carlos Twins you can appreciate the tremendous struggle with this situation.
Thank you.
Mike Naughton
