Pat, say hello to the Baraboo National Bank on the corner in downtown Baraboo....A number of Banks might need some one like The Old Ringling Brothers did in hard times when the Ringling Bros. walked in with a major deposit while people were making major withdraws at the Baraboo National Bank... love that town...
Pat, You have got to run some downtown Baraboo pictures and of course the museum...I still miss my trips to Baraboo....Worked eighteen Milwaukee Circus Parades and our crew always gathered in Baraboo until the circus train pulled out for Milwaukee then we headed for Milwaukee Circus Lot. an what a circus lot it was...We set-up our own little compound with a front view of the lot and downtown in the background and turn my lawn chair one half turn and there was Lake Michigan...We were there the entire week....It was like turning back the time...You you were around Tom Mix, Buffalo Bill, Annie Oakley and so on....Buffalo Bill use to attend one of the hotel watering holes in West Baraboo and believe me it was maybe the way the Real Bill had done it years ago at one of his watering holes...Talk about your Bobby Gibbs stories I think you could associate Bill and Bobby.....The Showmen of Many Stories............
Danny Chapman??? I knew Danny and his wife Joan when they worked the aerial act. I believe I have 8 mm film of him with Searle Simmons his close friend. Have a great trip & enjoy BABABOO
The photo of Barry atop an elephant was from the BiCentennial Unit that toured 75-76. Barry and several others did a time-step in the center ring during a George M. Cohan tribute during spec. I'm a Yankee Doodle Dandy!
Grandma stopped doing the time-step when she underwent the hip replacement. (kidding)
