Photo taken at the fair grounds in Ellensburg, Washington. Both hands were filled with corn on the cob and delicious old fashioned fair food. The Henry family had the circus on the back of Ralph Meeker’s show. Paul Meeker, his son, sent me this picture. Paul and I continue to be good friends even thou we have not seen each other in 50 years, That’s show business.
