I often wonder where he is as I haven’t seen nor heard from him since 1969.  Otto put a circus together for the Stardust Hotel Casino in Las Vegas. We met for the first time then, when he ask me to help him with the show and do the Chimp act. Louie Saca was a good friend of mine and Louie was the special events director at the Stardust Casino. So in a small way I helped out with the deal. The Stardust…. I guess wanted to compete with Circus Circus so the Stardust Circus went forward but it lasted for only two weeks. I will say Otto did a good job producing the show but I think what hurt us was being a sidewall circus outdoors and we were located in the back of the casino in a very bad location. The lesson….No People,  No money, No pay……. just another circus Jackpot.  No hard feelings Otto.

    Were you a chimpanzee trainer?
    Did you ever work with Bobby Berosini? I am a zoologist with a strong interest in circus animals, in particular gorillas.
