George Maurice Voise
When Harold was young about 15yr old, his father drew up a written contract with Eddie Ward
so Harold could leave home and join the trapeze training in Bloomington.

notes from Jack Voise recorded  tape from 1986 in Saginaw: " George would have done some work on the horizontal bar, trapeze and first one to ice skate using stilts (14 feet high) and would train done by Hoyt Park in Saginaw
among the trees to balance with.
He even painted the Brown Street house using them..Made his own stilts...
He was looking for an original idea.
He also used 3 foot long shoes as part of a clown act
Worked with Harold and Vern Howie?
Cleveland Shows
Did some advertisement and fell and hurt his leg
Gollmar Bros. Circus
Hagen-Wallace Circus
John Robbinson Circus"
