Is this photo of the five Eriksons from the Clyde Beatty circus 1953 ? That’s when I was the topmounter handbalancer. I was only 17b at the time. I left the show in Petoskey, Michigan as Karl told Ted DeWayne not to let me bounce on his trampoline. He was afraid I would get hurt and that would be the end of the topmounter. So I left and went out with a school lyceum tour to learn how to bounce, with ed Steinmetz.
