Circus Kirk
This was taken in my hometown Sandusky, Ohio on July 16, 1971. Why remember that date so well you ask? I was 15 years old and got to help take the big top down and load out. I earned three dollars that night and wanted to do it again.
I performed from 1973 to 1995 with a couple years off in between. I did an aerial cradle act for three years, low wire as a clown, trained llamas, ponies, then lions and tigers for 15 years. I am now a firefighter, a member of the Circus Historical Society and an author of several circus and carnival related subjects.
