Pollenberg’s Bears
Posted By thecircusblog on September 8, 2009
I believe this picture was taken on the Polack Bros Circus in the early 1950’s. Later in the mid 1950’s they were on the Siebrand Circus. Hana and Emil had two teen age children who traveled with them on the circus.

Hello Ivan, how are you buddy. Its been along time.
The above photo was taken in Melbourne Australia in late 1956 or early 57.
We left The Wirth show in late 1958. Then joined Siebrand.
Hello again Ivan, late getting back with you, sorry. We were on vacation.
After Mom & Emil retired they stayed in New Braunfels Tx. Where they lived before we returned from Australia.
Kathy and her family also lived in New Braunfels, until her death last year.
I also live in New Braunfels along with my wife of 33 years.
I have a few photp’s of Hanna & Emil I’ll send along. When I know how.
I can’t attatch them to this, sorry.
Regards. Clint “aka” Billy
