Hi, Thanks for the trip down the midway. I worked for the Zacchinis 1976-77. Love the picture of Teo. I remember sitting and talking with Teo and Lilly in their trailer after work when I brought in the money. I worked in the clowns belly for the glass house. Road with the train and also took over a room above the tracks in the witch. If I over slept would jump down and scare people as I ran out as not to get hit by the next.Anyway met another carnie from WI and have been here ever since. Never forgot the experience that you can get nowhere else. I wonder what happened to Teos Two son's?
ReplyDeleteLooks like Chino is running "Troy's Hunt Club" in Alabama. I don't know the other brother. http://www.troyshuntclub.com/About%20Us.html
