Casey called me today, an mentioned that he found a copy of the book, LORD OF THE RINGS in which there was a picture of GGW's pyramid that he thought looked nice. I have described this "half circle" pyramid in the past to him, but he probably wasn't listening. This is the pyramid above. GGW had more tigers on the floor, but when I took the act they were gone. I asked him where I should put the young tigers I was adding to the act and he suggested on the floor like his old pyramid. That's King and Sabre on the floor and Princess sitting up in back in the middle. Because you won't listen Casey, I will write it. Charly also did a beautiful, different pyramid in his act, with the pedestals set at different heights. Look at his act in the video, Big Cats of the Big Top and you can see it well. Both pyramids were more beautiful then most because of the different shape. They weren't your standard ugly straight/stretch pyramid, that we have seen for over 100 years in wild animal acts.

Wade, this is really great! I had previously asked about King and Princess, and Sabre and Madress. Is Madress in this one also?

P.S, Wade, I know it's you, so I'm not going to ask, and risk pissing you off. And yes, I will admit that you have a cute ass.

Mary Ann,
That's Madress laying on her seat half hidden between the last two tigers sitting up.
He had a cute ass. I like that for a legacy, Mary Ann, and it should be cheap to have cut in a hung of granite. Thank you.
Wade
