While taking photos for this report of the residential coaches in
Anaheim, I noticed a person sitting in a fork lift next to the
railcars. Thinking this might be a female forklift operator for
the circus, I approached her. As I got closer, she looked
up with a big smile from her MacBook laptop computer. Once I saw
that she was more the size of a circus performer, perhaps an aerialist
or dancer, I asked, "Are you with the circus?" She replied, "Yes,
I'm a Teacher."
The newest 'hire' at Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus,
Sara Greenback of Riva, Maryland
Sara has been to The Gambia and Costa Rica, truly a world
traveler! She has her Master's Degree in Education from St.
Mary's College in Maryland. She had only held the circus teaching
job for a
week, and had not actually ridden on the train yet. She will get
to add that experience when the show ends in Anaheim Sunday night, July
26, and opens in Ontario, CA, Wednesday evening. As it turned
out, she had escaped the noise of her room on the Circus Train, and had
found this shady seat in which to use her MacBook to start a Blog of
her experiences living on the Circus Train.
She asked Yours Truly if she could interview me about the Circus
Train, since only having lived on it a week, she didn't know much about
it, and being the ham I am, I consented. I was surprised when she
just turned her MacBook around and interviewed me on the built-in
camera (I'll have to do this sometime.)
