Teen, grabbed 2 Eli grnd mnt windbraces from 2 separate wheels on Bobby Cohn's West Coast Shows in 69. Grounding problem, 220 volts, he expired.
Same show, same year: Show was going to a Butler spot in Klamath Fall, Oregon.
One skywheel load had braking problems over a mountain pass. Driver bailed out of the cab, leaving his pregnant girlfriend, who was sleeping, to an untimely death.
Fellow show folks were upset that he bailed on her.
Our WQ in 67: Pollack Eddie, a fine responsible hardworking ride sup was probably trying to get rid of his lush, live-in GF. Her sons were bank robbers and pretty stupid. She was always reading "True Detective" magazine.
I'm in the Army and my dad never sends me letters. I get one from him and it said that she cut Ed behind both knees with a butcher knife. He bled to death in our house trailer. She probably read about that method in one of her mags.
May he rest in peace. Flamo knew him and he had our respect.
