"God, how we loved those big tents! We loved camping out and all the animals. We'd stay up real late and shoot the breeze with some of the most fascinating people in the world. I got to know them all: the Caterpillar Man, midgets and bearded ladies and the Human Seal with little flippers for hands and feet. Over the years I worked with everyone from the Mule-Faced woman to the man with three legs. We just accepted each other. It was a great adventure!"
