    Ivan _ If this is a photo of Don (the one on the far left named “Pumkin Bonta”) I think the photo had to be taken before 1954. In 1954 Don would have been 18 yrs. old.

    Hi,
    Not sure if this is being monitored any longer but I am Neil’s daughter Teresa and my middle name was given to me after Harry Ross. I would love to talk to anyone who knew my Dad and Harry and their lives in the Circus.
