Shorty and Jerry’s Kids
Posted By thecircusblog on October 1, 2008
In 1977 we were asked if we would help with the Jerry Lewis Telethon. We raised thousands of dollars at Legend City for this event. Legend City and I got a big thank you from the Jerry Lewis Foundation and that was enough.
A Little White Tiger
Posted By thecircusblog on October 1, 2008
It was spring of 1975 on the Great London Circus. One of the tigers had a litter and the mother would not take care of the 6 cubs. I knew how….and became their surragate mother. The little one that I am holding was given to me as payment for caring for the litter. They all lived. There is more to this story which I will relay to you in person if you have any interest.
