Is this Sandra before she went Blond?
I just looked at the date and show. I never saw her with so many clothes on. For some reason Kelly Miller has me doing Bally on the side show that year. I only stood on for Sanda when she had to go into the hospital for a couple of days. I saw this in the route book for that year.
Karen. I have worked with animals since 1958. Just not in the public. I only did Kelly Miller a couple of years because of Gene Garner. I do not consider myself a performer and never did. Just helped out with what the Circus needed. I also did not like the sideshow. How on earth they ever got me to stand in for Sandra is a mystery for me. Would you believe I was never an exabisionest[?] Too shy. Only comfortable with animals and then not in front of the public. My great love was the owner of the animals who shall remain a mystery. What we females do for love.!!!!
I must also say what Gene Garner did for me was not too shabby either. Now there was a HUNK!!! now that man knew how to treat a lady. Every lady.
Karen I have a couple of Garden Snakes that live under my trailer and in my garden. Last year one of the men clearing my land killed a snake and showed it to me thinking I would be pleased. He found out different and found another job.
I performed Karen I just never thought I measured up to my Idol Eloise Bertchtold. I am setting here eating a grilled cheese and tomato pie car sandwich that you told about in the pie car sectpon. I use mustard, maonaze and butter to grill them. I have a Jenniair Range with all the bells and whistles. Being a vegiterian[?] I don't use the spit. I make a lot of french toast using texas style bread. Also make a lot of pancakes. I learned to do almost everything there was on the circus in a very short period of time. Have to keep busy. I was on To Tell The Truth in 61. I just never felt like a performer. Having so much fun while to the rest it was work. If i had stoped to think about what I was doing I probably would have scared myself to death. I would do it again in a min if I had a second chance. I wish you could have met Eloise. She told me I was a natural born trainer. Babe Woodcock always talked about how calm I was in the arena. She was not one to just be making small talk. These two women I admired so much.
Now you will really fall out of your chair!!!! I was the secretary at the United Way Corparate Office in Denver. Yes with my spelling and everything. No computers. My typewriter corrected all my mistakes. I would type perposals. News Releases etc. Now thats a far reach I know for you to believe. You should see my resume. I attended Barnes Business College in Denver. The only thing I had a really hard problem with was accounting. I did a whole test and put the credits in the debit collum and visa virsa. JC never taught me a thing about the money business. Except how to get out of spending it. I was also into real estate. Its amazing what a single female who never went to high school can do if you want it bad enough.
Just one more fantastic funny. When I was a Kelly Girl in Denver, the office sent me to a job interview, It was for Freito Lay who was building a hugh warehouse there. The man who interviewed me told me he could not hire me as I was too delicate to be able to handle the ruff language and ways of the construction crew. DO YOU BELIEVE THAT.? As I left the office I turned to him and said" I would say SHIT if I had a mouth full" This is one of the School Marm events that drive me up a wall. I should have told him I could crap out a herd of 13 elephants at once and not raise my voice. This was not a way to impress Logan or make friends. No wonder he tried to squash me between Tena and a simi every chance he got.
I think the fellow announcing is Henry Thompson. Do you think that is correct, Rebecca?

Yes, That is Sandras husband. I had never seen Sandra with dark hair so did not reconize them at first. I think they have a trailer court somewhere in Florida now.
