DYKES BROS FIRST CIRCUS!
Dennis Gilley sent me these in an e-mail yesterday.
Said he was going through some old photos and found these.
They were taken in 1959!
This was Brother Bill's favorite project.
What memories these bring back!
It was put together down in the basement of our home
on Locust St, in Salisbury, MD.








And here's the two producers!
We were 16 years old and proud as peacocks of our little circus.
In fact this picture was taken at an elementary school where we
had our first appearance.
That's Bill on the left and me on the right.
