Peru, Indiana Winter Quarters
I recieved some Peru , Indiana photos on Friday and that reminded me I had some William Koford photos that Al Conover had distributed. The Corporation's Heyday was over and the destruction was about to begin. What was the worst thing of it all, was the number of circus friends and fans that asked for anything as a souvenior, a wheel, a carving or even a wagon were told NO. Everything was set on fire.
I performed from 1973 to 1995 with a couple years off in between. I did an aerial cradle act for three years, low wire as a clown, trained llamas, ponies, then lions and tigers for 15 years. I am now a firefighter, a member of the Circus Historical Society and an author of several circus and carnival related subjects.
