The Gil Gray Circus 1958 at the Shrine Mosque in Springfield, Mo. Casey Gibb’s father took the photo. Seen here is Suzy on the wire, Joe Lempke and Marvin.
Thanks Casey and Kandra for your comments.

Joe Lemke & Suzy on the wire. He & Marvin were on Mr. Gray’s for many years.
Joe Lempke, Suzy and Marvin. I will always remember them looking like this even as they got older. Suzy is buried over in Pahrump Nv and has a nice Headstone on her grave. Maybe some day i am over there i will stop by and take a picture for you to post.
