Seeing Kay reminds me of so many equally talented circus families. Through marriage our family merged with the very talented and versatile Plunkett family and what individual characters they have been. So much fun to be around, in fact some of their antics have been hilarious. The only other equally talented family with the same zest for life are the Ashtons. If you have been unfortunate to have never been around either group you have missed so much. To sum it all up, Gloria Plunkett was doing a single trapeze act on a small tent show and when she was finished and walked out the back door with her boa feathers a circus fan congadulated her and her act. With her friendly Plunkett smile she said,"Well thanks. It sure beats playing piano in a whorehouse". Oh yes maybe the Silverlake family deserves honorable mention. Thanks and may all your days be circus days until something better comes along.

Beware. Weiner and James have produced a new batch of Plunketts and I believe Mike Ashton is doing the same. The Rosaires as well have never been known to sit quietly in some corner and I see more Rosaiers coming round the bend. I note Tammy in this photo group and to get around to her and that family would sure fill the comment pages. I believe Jimmy Cole is keeping a biograpy of her and her exploits.

Yes Johnny I am, but for now I will stick to circus history. The soap opera script can come later!
