These are actual postage stamps that I use only when I write to my circus friends or if someone wishes to collect one or two. I enjoy the comments I get when a friend sees the stamp on the envelope post mark. The main reason why I did postage stamp was to honor my grandfather J.E. Henry as well all of the Henry family.

First off I want to thank John Palacsek for sending me numerous letters from my grandfather and Author and Marie Henry. Somewhere, somehow John found them and has shared them with me. This letter with the route could have been written by J.E. Henry or Marie Henry or perhaps my grandmother Mable Henry.

This shot was taken at the Red Skelton studio just before her performance with Mr. Skelton. 1957?. During the 1950’s and early 1960’s my mother performed on every major TV show in Los Angles.

Toni Madison was my mothers stage name. Mary Ann Pearl Henry is her actual name. She took the stage name because all of the Henrys had dog acts, which sometimes confused the theatrical agents. At this time most of the Henrys lived around Los Angeles. This photo was taken in 1955.

John Palacsek also sent this along. There is an actual typed letter here but my photo shop could not glean it, maybe John has a better print. I am happy just to get the letterhead.

Not long ago I received this book from Angelo Pastormerio. I found it to be extremely well written and interesting. It includes history and photos the likes of which I have never seen before. I posted just a few of them for you. If you wish to get in touch with Angelo, here is his email angelo.pastormerio@gmail.com. I think his book is a collector’s item.
