Clifford Henry
Posted By thecircusblog on April 28, 2012
I never knew this photo existed. I received a box of circus photos from Charles Clancy. The box contained the total Tommy Bentley Collection. In one of the albums is where I discovered my Dads photo. What a wonderful find. This photo was taken on the Rudy Bros Circus 1969. He had retried from the chimp act and was taken live easy but could not stay away from the circus. Not only being a fine performer and trainer, he as well was a master electrician. Rudy and others would ask Dad to fix their electrical problems as well to build new and better lighting and sound systems. I lost my Father in June 1977. I miss him even to this day. He was one of the greats………….He never had an enemy.
Thank you Carol for your loving comment. IVAN

Ivan – That is a wonderful photo of your father; it shows a true sense of his easy-going and generous nature. He was always one of my favorite people and I was grateful for his welcome attitude to a newcomer to his world.
