Circus Historical Society's past President's Critique & the CHS' YouTube Link to "Circus History Live!"

Here's what Don Covington, past President of the Circus Hostorical Society (CHS) had to say -- after watching Peggy Adler and Dibirma Jean Burnham being interviewed by Circus Historian Chris Berry in the December 17, 2023 edition of "Circus History Live!"  "I was enthralled by the depth of information on the Pallenbergs and their bears and by the interconnections between the family and so many other circus notables.
