Part Two: The Most Harrowing Story from the May Traveling Show as Told by John May

6/10/2024

Authors: Diana Fruh * Dylan Fruh * Lynda Senko
Here is the second installment of our archival records detailing a life threatening experience from the traveling show days in the early 1940's. Lynda Senko, John's daughter, recorded this story on her cassette recorder when John was about 80 years old. Dylan Fruh, John's great-grandson, spent countless hours enhancing and restoring it to a digital format. This audio picks up after a hired hand had fallen asleep at the wheel and the semi truck housing the priceless collection rolled on to it's top. John and Vicky May as well as three employees were inside. We hope you enjoy hearing how it turned out.
