CAPT. FRED LOGAN

FROM JIM ELLIOTT


Freddy Logan was elephant super on Clyde Beatty-Cole Bros Circus

for many years. He was a great host to visiting circus fans and will never be forgotten.

Years ago Freddy was on the Al G Kelly-Miller Bros Circus and also presented

many different acts for Dorey Miller.

The first time I (Dick) met him was on Kelly-Miller and he was also presenting

a "Fighting" Lion Act.

Freddy always spoke and said Hi to all the fans and showfolk!

  1. Of course, we all now, both Freddie and Walter have passed. Shawn works at the Ringling breeding facility and the fellow standing behide Freddie in the top picture is Allen Kinsey, who is employed by the Pages Family, on their Circu Pages.
