This photo was taken in 1950 or 1951. Some of these photos came from the Donita Roche collection. She and her husband “Poncho” Frank Roche are both deceased now. The photo’s then went to Dorothy Carson of the Royal Rockets skating act. They were also on the Siebrand circus. Now I have them for the circus blog…. thank you Dorothy

    I have been trying to find ANY pictures of my mother Anna Mae Cole who was a
    bareback rider with Tom , Joe, Gloria and Etta Hodgini 1943-1945. I have one
    picture of her with Joe and Tom in the trampoline act dated 1944. I remember her
    talking about Dolly the elephant and the Gil Gray circus. any help would be
    appreciated. thanks
