The only info I can offer about the four acrobats with my parents in this photo is this: the large gentleman on the teeterboard at the far right I think must’ve been Pundur. My father spoke of him often as being able to hold 2 people in his shoulders side by side.This is depicted in the photo, so it must be him. Other than that single name (Pundur) the only other info I have is that he was a body builder interested in acrobatics. Next to him on the teeterboard is a very young Johnny Szilagyi. He was in the troupe for many years. The two men next to Johnny I have no clue as to their identity. Next on the board is my father Laszlo and finally my mother Veronica. I believe the location of this was Montreal but I do not know the year. Maybe my brother will be able to give more info about the unknown 2 as well as the year…
My dad was Arpad Johnny Szilagyi
