Andrew Kirby(and wife Marie) who gave me my first job in the circus as a prop hand on Luis Munoz's prop crew. Two week's later was able to move into the "big time" when the elephant groom position opened up, although before the current PC nonsense it was referred to as the shit shoveler position. Mr. Kirby had a mobile home next to Tarzan Zerbini's winter quarters where they wintered.

Their mobile home was actually on

Zerbini's tremendous acreage on

the Old Packinghouse Road before

I-75 ate up much of it

Many other showfolks would also

keep their trailers & such there

during the off seasons

That part of the road is now

known as Cattleman Road
