Gino & his family were on the Gil Gray show in the 60’s & also worked & announced the circus when Mr. Gray booked it into Six Flags Over Texas in the summer of 1965. They were very nice people. He did a good job of announcing even with his very Italian accent! We worked 3 shows a day, 7 days a week. Between all of the shows & the summer heat it was very hard to get the show stock out of walk. Bucky Steele had a green pony drill & they were certainly finished at the end of the summer.
“Gino was Iginio from the outstanding Bogino Family Troupe of wrisley acrobatic act. His family played a large role in a Danny Kaye film which had a lot of circus background.
Gino and Mary Ann are my parents. These photos appear to be from the late 50’s/very early 60’s………My parents traveled and worked together from the time they married n 1958 until the divorced in 1976-ish……..my sister Dina and i both performed with them in our family act as well. Our brother Steven was still too young to perform at the time.
My Mom is still alive and well in Delaware, where she was from originally. Dina lives there as well as Steven. My father passed away in December of 1990 in Italy, where he had been living for several years. He left 6 children at the time, Rick Bogino Wallenda, Mario Bogino Wallenda (deceased), Amy Bogino Eernissee, Dina Bogino, Steven Bogino and Bruno Bogino.
Hi, everybody,
So surprised to see these pictures of me and Iginio. My recollection is they were taken about 1960. Will look through my photos to see if the actual date is noted. Thanks for sharing with everyone!!!
