About Me
- Bob Cline
- 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.

Lots of paper here. They wouldn't carry the scaffold unless this was a usual thing.
Shame that by September they still hadn't gotten far enough ahead to have correctly dated paper.
Will Exhibit Here.
I wonder how many of those big date sheets the ad car carried?
They might have carried the parapet hooks and ropes in a possum, obtained the plank locally.
More hair raising was taking an extension ladder, placing one piece on the roof with a guy on the end away from the wall as a counter-weight, with a second guy working on the other half of the ladder, supported by the wall end of the horizontal section. No OSHA then.
Great hit.
