KING OF AQUARIA says: "Former employees of Sea Arama Marineworld of Galveston, Texas are planning a reunion June 30th at Moody Gardens Aquarium on Galveston Island. Back in the 70's they had a trained bear act there. If you would like to attend the Reunion, I will give you all the scoop in the next blog. And thanks for the videos of Marineland and Game Farm. Did you ever work at Circus World near Orlando? I remember they had performing polar bears back in the 80's."

King,
Circus World was a Ringling/Feld deal. It closed before I went on the show. Ursula Bottcher from East Germany had the Polar bears. Numerous pictures/video's have been posted on the blog in reference to here.
Won't make the Sea Arama Reunion, as I am currently in Mexico working.

KING OF AQUARIA says: "I just read in THE NATIONAL ENQUIRER that America has over 10,000 pet tigers - even ex-boxer Mike Tyson owns one!

Happy Easter to everyone on this glorious Day of Resurrection!"

King,
What was the date on the National Enquirer(I can't believe I am even referencing that as "source") story that you mention? I believe Tyson lost his tiger.

KING OF AQUARIA says: "My bad . . . it was the April 2 edition of the National Examiner. I hope you don't think less of me - even literary types like myself enjoy an occasional roll in the gutter."
