Dick Atkins Aims Return To Sawdust Trail With Bell Troupe
Dick Atkins the tumbling clown and son of H O Atkins of West Union Street rose from Ohio University to join the Bell Troupe in Fredericksburg Virginia in 1933. He damaged neck muscles in Ann Arbor and returned to college but kept circus life in mind.

The Bell Troupe hopes for his return despite lingering muscle issues.
