    Hi, Ivan! My grandfather, Frank Mueller, was a slack rope walker a century ago. Later, he was close friends with Aida the girl in the moon and her husband. My mom remembers them very well going back to the 1940s and thinks my grandpa helped construct and maintain the equipment for this act. Do you have any archival material/info on my grandpa? I know he was pals with Emmitt Kelly and the original Karl Wallenda, but I don’t think he performed for the Ringling Brothers. The Ringling museum in Florida could not ID him. My aunt just told me she vaguely recalls the circus business name of Cole Brothers. Any ideas/thoughts?
