Working Tina--1976 Great Western Exhibition Center, Los Angles, Calif.

This is where we wintered before the Hawthorn facility was built in Richmond, Ill.
The gentleman in the blue shirt, "supervising" is John Cuneo. This scene hasn't changed in 32 years. Twice a week he sits in the exact same place, and "helps" me train tigers. The arena on the right, has the young tigers who became the second Hawthorn tiger act in 1977, with Tony, Bagheera, and Frosty. We set that same arena back up in December for practicing, instead of the newer stainless steel one. Some people just don't want things to change. LOL
