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."

  3. 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.

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

  5. 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.
