Jackie Zerbini

Jackie did a great job with the Hawthorn Tiger act that she presented for a number of years and it was a pleasure to work with her. Below is picture of Jackie when she was younger with Tarzan Zerbini's tiger riding act.

JACQUELINE ZERBINI: Jacquelines name comes up again this year for induction into the Circus Hall of Fame - Peru, IN. Lets hope she will be inducted on July 18th in Peru. I believe it was Oct. 2003 when Jacqueline was the Emmett Kelly Tent -Hagerstown, MD Speaker. I was asked to bring the program together and Introduce Jacqueline. I contacted John Herriott for a sampling of his Jacqueline introductions at various times. Barry DeChant produced the CD using John Herriott Intoductions and Chuck Schlabaum's live music from a past Sarasota Circus Festival the time Jacqueline retired her trapeze act and Chuck was the circus band director. After Jacquelines Hagerstown speach I followed up with an old Ralph Edwards Show idea "This Is Your Life Jacqueline." I read letters from John Cuneo, Wayne McCary and the Children..I presented Jacqueline with the CD.......And a note book that contain the letters and other items just like Ralph Edwards use to do.. Following morning I took Jacqueline to the airport for her flight back to Sarasota. Just prior to boarding the plane, "I ask Jacqueline did she feel like we had treated her like a STAR?" She gave me a huge smile and a big yes. The Poster Picture Boards you see in this BLOG picture were assembled by me for the Kelly Banquet. I gave them to Jacqueline. Later the picture boards were used when Jacqueline was the Celebrity Night Honoree Ringling Museum Celebrity...This picture was taken Dec. 3rd - Sarasota Showfolks Club. Jacqueline was the CFA SHOWFOLKS TENT speaker....

January 2, 2009 will be Jacquelines Birthday......Don't forget to wish her a HAPPY BIRTHDAY....Jacqueline The Center Ring Star........
