Ivan with Jackie and Boy
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.
Monster Trucks
Maricopa County Fair 2003 and 2004. I wanted to produce something different and something that I had never done before. It drew a full grandstand….every show.
Henry’s Hippy Chimps
In the Mid 1960’s we did a lot of shows in San Fransico. This photo was used in all the news papers.
Bongie’s Headstand
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.
Henry’s Chimps in Hawaii
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.
Teaching Solon
“Now remember son, the first thing you have to learn is how to clean up after the elephant”….notice that Solon is hiding the shovel so it doesn’t show in the photo.
Henry’s Chimps
Henry’s Chimps….natural born comedians of the jungle….performing with Great London Circus.
