Kelly Miller Circus 1958. Do you remember Mingo? I certainty do. He was a fine person and had a helping hand for everyone. After all the years I knew him and was on the same circuses. I can not tell you his given name, he was just always Mingo. I wonder if the comedian Steve Martin got his famous “arrow through the head” comedy bit from Mingo?
