Charly Baumann

Charly and Araceli Bauman in their Ringling train car. Araceli is the most wonderful person you would ever meet in the circus. A former Ringling dancer, Charly was so devoted to both her, and their dogs. This is the living room floor I spent a "hard" night on, as related on the "history channel." Charly and Araceli had retired from Ringling and traveling when I went back in 1991 to take over GGW's tiger act, and their rail car was given to me to use while I was there. How could I have been so lucky, to be even a small part of the life of folks like this. That stuff doesn't even happen in movie's.
