Carla Wallenda #1 (From Chic Silber)

Auburn Michigan - July 13, 2012
Carla Wallenda is 76 years old and she has been performing daredevil acts for 73 years.

She's in Auburn this weekend putting on nightly shows and showing her acrobatic tricks

from the top of a 110-foot sway pole.

"I love it and I'm working in all the small towns," said Carla Wallenda.

She climbs to the top of the pole, with no safety harness, and does flips, headstands

and even stands straight up as the pole sways.

People on the ground say watching Carla Wallenda do these ridiculous tricks gives them butterflies.

You may recognize her name. Her father was Karl Wallenda,

who was the originator of the "Great Wallendas" the celebrated high wire family.

"I think I learned it before I even was born," laughed Carla Wallenda.

Her nephew is Nik Wallenda, the man who recently crossed Niagara Falls on a tightwire.

She said she is just a part of a long, long family tradition and she's nowhere close to retiring.

"I'm only 76 really, at least another 24 years," said Carla Wallenda with a big smile.

Lou Jacobs and Carla Wallenda (1942)

In 1942 photographer Joe Steinmetz took a series of photos of Lou Jacobs applying his make-up in the presence of six-year old Carla Wallenda and other children. In this photo Lou's makeup is almost complete - and Carla seems enchanted..

Contact Atlanta City Council to SUPPORT proposed animal control ordinance

The Public Safety Committee of the Atlanta City Council voted yesterday to pass a proposed animal control ordinance to clarify which Fulton County rules will be adopted by the City. If the city adopts this animal control ordinance, it will make clear that the City does not accept and will not enforce the recently enacted Fulton County bullhook ban within the Atlanta city limits. The ordinance will now go to the full Atlanta City Council for a vote at their meeting on Monday, June 18. If this ordinance passes, it means circuses with elephants can continue to visit the city of Atlanta.

Please take a moment to contact the members of the Atlanta City Council to let them know you SUPPORT their efforts to clarify the city’s animal control regulations, and respectfully ask them to vote YES on the proposed animal control ordinance at their June 18 meeting. E-mails and letters from Circus Fans and other supporters in the Atlanta area are especially encouraged.
The contact information for the Atlanta City Council and Atlanta Mayor Kasim Reed follows. Thank you for your help!

Lou Jacobs and Kids (1942)

In 1942 photographer Joe Steinmetz staged a scene where Lou Jacobs applied his makeup in front of a group of circus kids. Six-year old Carla Wallenda is the older blonde girl on Lou's right side. Do we know who any of the other kids are?

Allen Bloom (From Paul Tharp)

I am sending along a photo to you in memory of Alan Bloom. I snapped this in Washington,DC while unloading the Big One.
Paul Tharp


I have to say that Allen was the single most important mentor in my career. The relationships, work ethic, and joy for life he personified are the greatest gifts I could ever receive. The support and confidence he showed me personally have made a difference in how I treat and deal with others. Never one to knock you when you were down, Allen would lend a hand and pick you up. This is what made a truly great man. My love and condolences got to Susan, Cary, Randy, Carla, Candace and their families. Allen may be gone from this earth, but never forgotten. I like to think he is one of my angels....
