Happy Birthday Lou Jacobs




Yesterday, September 13th, would have been Lou Jacobs' birthday. As a producing clown and prop builder, he performed for the Ringling Brothers Barnum and Bailey Circus for over sixty years. He is best remembered for his mini car routine and was the first ever living person to be honored on a postage stamp. More good info on Lou Jacobs can be found on the links below.
