Remember the old "Our Gang" series? Well, today's photo is reminiscent of that time.

And here is what was submitted with the photo from Robert "Bobby" Davis of Towamencin:

"The following narrative about the photo is from Robert K. Davis, as told to him by his sister Marie:

"In the late 1930s, our gang decided to have a circus. The reason was that our friend, Sonny Robbins, had a dog that had puppies. These would be the circus animals.

"Bobby remembers making a sign saying, 'Circus the safternoon (note the childhood English) and hung it on a tree next to the driveway at the street at our home on 610 E. Hancock Street, Lansdale (formerly Pennbrook). My mom made lemonade and we sold it for pennies a cup.

"The friends pictured are, from left, Billy Campman, Leonard Frederick, Marie Davis, Teddy Bigoney, Bobby Davis, Jack Dougherty, Sonny Robbins and Melissa Bigoney. These were the days when we played outside all day, as you can see by our clothes!

"It is believed that Teddy Bigoney was the ringmaster, as evidenced by his turban, and the others were the 'animal handlers.'

"The photo was taken at our home on our clay tennis court. The tennis court had two backstops made of chicken wire and cedar posts at each end of the court. One of the many posts is visible on the left of the photo behind the gang.

"Teddy, Bobby and Jack are holding the puppies and Sonny has his dog. Carefree fun days!

"The status of the persons in the photo — Leonard, Marie, Bobby, Sonny and Melissa are presumed to be around, but the status of the others is unknown.

"Please send by mail any updates or corrections to Robert K. Davis, 549 Dock Dr., Lansdale PA 19446"

So there you have it. Perhaps you were part of this "circus" or know the people who were.

If so, Mr. Davis would love to hear from you.
