Max
Posted By thecircusblog on July 6, 2009
Max may be all of seven years old in this photo with his dog Sport posing in the back yard of Henry Bros Circus. In the mid 1920’s Max’s farther was the band leader on Grandfather’s show. As the years passed growing up on the circus, both he and his sister Maxine became skilled performers and did a number of different acts. Later Maxine married Todd Henry and they had one daughter Donna. My Father told me many great stories about the fun times that he and Max had together when they were kids. In the 1950’s, I remember all the families visiting each other at Grandmother house in El Monte, Calif. We all lived close to each other at that time, but eventually the circus life separated the family….. not that we wanted to…. that’s just the way it was. We continued to stay in touch via the phone & mail. One day out of the clear blue in the spring of 1958, Max his wife Gertie came to visit. We had a wonderful time with my Aunt and Uncle Craig as they liked to be called. They were indeed part of the Henry family…..This photo given to the circus blog by Joanne Wilson Pinson. Thanks.
