Now here was a character……. Harry Froboess.  This guy was a practical joker and was always up to something. He was even worse than Frenchy Manning. Harry did several different aerial acts from high pole to casting. Harry was in the Olympics and was a movie stunt man before he became a circus performer. In this photo he is reminiscing with a picture of himself as a stunt man. 1950 Siebrand Bros Circus.

    Harry was my great Uncle brother to my grandmother, we didn’t find this out until 7 years ago, do you have other pictures of him, and information? I have been getting pictures from his personal box that he left when he died, from some people in germany.I have a book he signed to his friend in NM, but am looking for anything anyone has.
    Thank you
