This is Connie Armstrong, daughter of John and Marge Armstrong (the Acro-Nuts) and later on the wife of Dieter Tasso. Connie usually did a portable trap act and played clubs and stage revues. She and her parents were from the Chicago area.
Above information is correct. Connie was a very accomplished aerialist, and did difficult tricks with class, ease, and with very pleasing projection. She was a dear friend, and she and I practiced our individual trapeze acts together many times, in Chicago, between club dates, fairs, circus,etc. She was my Maid Of Honor at our Helicopter wedding (Francarro & Estreleta) in London, Ontario in 1966—A beautiful person, a beautiful performer.
Ivan,
Getting “endorsed” by the great Francarro & Estreleta really validates an aerialist, for sure. Wonderful folks, from my “early days.” Ruth was no slouch in the beauty department for sure. I suppose enough time has passed to not fear reprisal from Frank, for me to admit she was one of my first “circus crushes.” 🙂
