Dave Pitts rumbled east in his brand-new 1963 GMC Suburban Carryall — an automobile big enough to haul trunks filled with dozens of costumes, props and his prized possession: Spanky, “the world’s only ice-skating chimpanzee.”
On that May morning in 1964, Pitts and Spanky were heading to Duluth, Minnesota, to begin rehearsals for their third season of Ice Capades, a glitzy traveling show featuring former world and Olympic ice skaters. Pitts and Spanky were among the headliners.
Pitts planned to stop in his hometown of Evanston to see his parents and show off his new automobile. Accustomed to the rigors of a 65-city annual ice-skating tour, Pitts was an athlete — handsome in a young Mickey Rooney kind of way.
