If you want to see something unforgettable, check Bill Strong's "Yesterday's Towns" for the picture of Trudy and the 14-tiger sit-up.

A real circuc Super Star in every stretch of imagination and the most unpretentious person you would every have the privelege of knowing. Beginning as an acrobat, contortionist and juggler to arialartistry of the highest caliber. Single trapeze, flying trapeze, cradle act of the finest routines. Herlarge group of Dalmation dogs and horse and her excellent Apaloosa liberty act with all doing the best hind leg rear. And then with husband Bill doing the ultimate show stopping arial thrill closing act high in the air with the revolving rocket ship concluding with revolving one toe hang and then to present one of the finest tiger acts in the world and to be featured with the largest circus in Europe for an unprecedented five plus years plus special European performances. Total nerves of steel and complete determination exemplify her total commitment to her art along with being a fine wife and mother and proud member of her circus family. If you were fortunate to work on shows with Trudy you would find her happy to be just another one of the group. What is she doing now? She sews wordrobe, with her sister trains dogs and ponies, enjoys being with family and friends and never talks about herself. She stands alone as acircus performer and I believe deserves any honor that our business can bestow. She is truly a remarkable LADY in every way.

WELL SAID about TRUDY. You will never meet anyone who does not have praise for TRUDY inside the ring or out. A natural star of any circus.
