After thought!

After Mack and Peggy MacDonald retired some of the Polack Old Guard regarded us as First of Mays and one of the first to break the Ice was Concession Managers wife Stella Howell.....hence the name!

My historian/archivist friend, Leonard Farley, told me something I've never forgotten. He said, "If you've seen jealousy backstage at the opera, or the ballet, or on a film set, you have never seen jealousy until you see it in the backyard of a circus."

I can see an uneasiness on a show in any transition, but to treat you as First of Mays when you were both circus born and bred is beyond the stakeline.

Stela would take 9 to 11 of those bottles every 4 hours. I had the concoction cooking on the stove all the time. Buckles and I had to sleep with her in the truck. We would open a bale of hey and through a quilt over the top of the hey. I had to be close enough to Stela so she could touch my hair, like a baby. Then she would go right off to sleep. In till four hours later in time for the next 11 bottles. Talk about having a big baby. But I loved her. And I was really her mother.....Barbara.....
