Does anyone have pictures of Tiger Trainers?

Question

My step-father Yaro Hoffmann died April 3, 2007 in Medford Oregon. He was a circus performer & tiger trainer who appeared late-march in Portland, OR and Washington State.
Risking extraordinary harm every show by going into a steel arena with a half-dozen tigers, his untimely death came by ordinary means.

If anyone took any pictures or video of the shows, especially on April 1, I would be extremely grateful to obtain a copy/CD burn for my family. If you know of any newspaper articles or photographs which were done on Oregon, I would like to get some copies and contact those elements of the press. I want to see if I could get pictures of their last times performing.

Additionally, if you saw my tiger-training parents in some other venue over the last 20 years in a circus, fair or festival I'd be thrilled to get full-quality pictures from you.

By the way, I've done tons of searches. I am hoping to find people with posession of pics specifically from my dear ol' dad.

Hey Mike,

There are many planes called Tigers and the trainers are a version of that plane, so it complicated the search, you will have to look through these many pages of images for the ones you like.
