My dear friend “Little” Joe Accurso, born 21 Aug 1930, knew Clyde St Leon & family when he lived in Brooklyn, NY in the 1940’s & 1950’s. Joe was with their circus for several years, doing tumbling & acrobat stunts. Joe moved to Florida in mid 1960’s, then to Lehigh Acres in 1967 and always kept in touch with Clyde who lived in Bradento area. I met Clyde, Lila and the children in late 1980’s. Wonderful people. Joe is still alive & well & remembers the “Olden days”, and often speaks fondly of the St. Leon family and Norman who was a jockey. Please contact me if you remember Little Joe & I can put you in touch with him if you like.
