This picture was taken at Legend City, Tempe, AZ in 1977. Henry Bros. Circus was in full swing. My two sons, Solon and Gabe, performed with the other animals in the circus.
Henry Chimps was booked into a small fair in Arizona called Eleven Mile Corner. To our surprise our good friends Milo and Roger were there also. The Carnival was Doc Capell’s show. We did a lot of visiting and had alot of fun.
Bongie was trying to do a complete headstand, but his feet would hit the canvas, so I went to one knee and he made it. I was told it put a smile on E.K’s Fernandes face.
1963…. Ivan in Hawaii with the E.K. Fernandes Circus. The season before my Dad was with me. This season he had Pan American Shows out on tour, so I did a single. I was in Hawaii for 10 weeks and played all the islands.
