From Jim Cole

This photo is from 1965, I was only 18 when I took it. I’m sure that is Ava up on Rex’s shoulder.

Those crummy swinging ladders so

they could still get those web

challenged girls in the air to

fill the track (never liked them)

Clearly the top had been through

some tough lot conditions

You're right, Jim. As some of us recall, 1964 had been tedious for Ava. Word was, she and Rex had lost a child, and Darlene's birth and Ava's recovery were treated with exceptional care. I remember Rex driving over to Cookhouse, where Billy McCabe had their dinners "to go" ready on a tray, since Ava didn't chance walking over. I didn't see Ava ride in '64, but we see by Jim's photo that by '65, Ava was back in the act.
