Circus at Lackland Air Force Base
Posted By thecircusblog on September 29, 2009
These ads are from the Dec 7, 1950 Lackland Air Force Base newspaper.The papers name is Talespinner. The base is located in San Antonio, Texas. Rubin did a forehead perch act with his wife Anita who was great performer. These two wonderful people never had a bad word for anyone. Rubin always called me his Guero “Blondie”. It was from Rubin I got my first idea’s on teaching Bongi my Chimp the perch. Betty was Benny ‘s wife not his sister as the article states…….. she did look much younger than Benny.
