I met Frank only one time. He came to visit Wally Ross at Pacific Ocean Park, Santa Monica, Calif, the summer of 1956. Dad and I were working the chimp act. While we were there Wally taught me how to work with the Dolphins in the Sea Circus. It indeed was a experience I will never forget. Nolly Tate and his wife Polly clowned.

There is no question, I am a sentimental. I enjoy reading these old ad’s, they bring back the memories of old friends.

The Visitor

Every now and again this young brown Eagle will come and visit us in our back yard. Each time he lands on this bell and looks about for a while then he is gone till his next visit. The Native American people believe that the Brown Eagle brings good spirit medicine. I though I would share some of it with you.
