Bill & Trudy Strong

Frank & Ruthie Clark and Trudy & Bill Strong

Beautiful people and special friends all thru our career. They did a gorgeous aerial act called "The Pharaohs" and we worked many times with them. They also did a feature "Rocket" Act called "Quasars." They also presented a Liberty Horse act, and a beautiful Dalmatian dog act. The last 9 or 10 years of their career, Trudy presented, and Bill assisted, a wonderful tiger act, on a major circus in Germany (Cirque Krone).

"The photo at the end of "Yesterdaystowns" 2007/03/01, certainly is Frank & I with Bill and Trudy. Bill Strong is the one who did "Yesterdaystowns", the last few years of his life. Bill is gone now, and so missed, but we do see Trudy often here in Sarasota at different circus gatherings."
