Beenie and Tory doing the Head Spin routine.

This was the only 3-ring circus that I produced.

In the early winter of '71 Gordon Yadon of the CFA in Delivan called me one day and asked if I would produce a circus for his chapter. He told me that his CFA members would cooperate and help in any way thay could. They sure did.

I started lining up acts that winter on the Shrine dates I was working and when I got home I called Gordon and told him some of the performers I had contracted. He was pleased with my selections. Then he hit me with what would be to me one of the most pleasent news I would have in the circus. He and his members of the CFA were able to get Merle Evans who was retired from the RBBB to lead a live circus band all made up of CFA's.

I was the ringmaster and David Hall worked the Mitie-Mites. He had worked with me for years and with the rest of the show he did a great job. A show I will never forget.
