A good book, his cigar, some peanuts, and a coke. Cutting up jackpots with friend.
That is Mark. I will miss Mark and his stories. John Robinson With some sad news. Jonathon "Mark" Pierson passed away yesterday. He had returned home at the seasons end and while visiting his mother in Canada suffered a heart attack. Mark started on the Vargas show on the big top crew in 1977 and eventually worked his way to the elephant dept. He was with Vargas off and on til 1993 where he worked under VC Arivett, Tom Larson, Erik Jaeger and especially enjoyed working for Ted Polk and Rex Williams. He also worked a short stint for Alan Campbell and then worked for the Hawthorn corp. under Gary Thomas. In more recent times, he spent 16 years off and on working for Jim Zalicek around the elephants and later manning the ticket box on Jim's Big Circus Side Show. Last winter he put some time in at the Endangered Ark Foundation in Hugo. A private family service will be held in Canada. James C. Hall http://www.sideshowworld.com/Tribute-Mark-Pierson.html |

The Big Circus Sideshow will not be the same without him...
