Neena #2, not Nena, was with the Big John Strong circus up thru the 1983 season when the show was sold to D.R. Miller and David Rawls and became part of the basis for the current Kelly Miller Circus. She was leased by Big John for a winter season (about 1978) to Betty Wendany who had a small sidewall show, Funs-A-Poppin Circus, which played PTA and other school sponsors. I handled her and drove the semi that carried her that winter. And I also cared for her at least one winter at the show's WQ in Yucaipa, Calif.
