I was in a perfect vantage point

on the back track by ring 3 where

I could keep my eye on the powers

that be seated diagonally behind

& watch everything in the arena

My only immediate dealings with Gunther was after the 1994 Blue show train wreck and I was called in to finish out the season.
About a week after I arrived Gunther came pulling on the lot in his bus from the Red Show and explained that officially he was in charge of all the animals the Felds' owned and had been instructed to see how things were going.
By this time things were well in hand and for the next few days we cut up a lot of jack-pots and I got to know him pretty well. His wife is a good cook too!

That was my first year as a first of May Showgirl on the red unit. I loved my job and loved the people that I got to know.

Buckles, in fact I used to ride Eva aka Peggy in Spec all three of my years on Ringling.
