Did you break the ball tiger ? And if so how old was the tiger ? Wasn't that Perly ?; 07 July, 2007 10:59

I guess I must be the "you" you're addressing!

Not a practice, just no seat wagons on the back side of the track for some reason. There was no cat practice on the road, no time!

Pearly (who I named after my Grandmother) came as a one year old in '85 (or '86?) Yes, I put her on the ball, she made my job easy, she was so smart. You probably remember that was a metal elephant ball. I rescued it from the "time capsule" (the pile of junk behind winter quarters in Hugo). Lots of hours painting sand onto that thing!; 07 July, 2007 17:28
