I was with hoxie great American in 82-83 I worked with the elephants with tim marakesh? and joe? Friscoim. Stash was the road boss I remember. I worked kelly the elephant, t
Tim worked janet. I also drove the water truck. any photos from the 82-83 season?
I was the organ player in the late 70’s when National Graphic did a video of the shows. I just came off of the Hoxie show. I still have the original video. I think it is a 35 mm video. I started with John Lewis circus and went with Hoxie show for 4 years. I even had Hoxie’s Doberman trained to be a guard dog.
If you ever contact John Lewis, tell him I said Hello.
I worked as a clown on the show in the 90’s I was there when Janet went rogue, always wondered what happened to the other elephants after the show closed.
