My mother took the picture above in 1974 the day she and my father took me to Clyde Bros Circus were I had arranged for my first circus job. The picture below was taken in 1983 in Tokyo just after I had received word that Ringling Bros. was interested in the White Tiger act for 1984. I am sure I was replaying the incredible journey to that point in my mind. Yes, my roots were different. Like an Oak is different from a Maple. But they are both trees. I do respect my circus roots, which branched off much later in my life. I am fortunate I have two sets of roots, and it allows me to see things differently.
