1968 Guest is Henry Ringling North – 1968

They keep it light and lively— 1968 Guest is Henry Ringling North in their own words. Oh, well, I won’t start being reminiscent But the other night Joe and I took our youngsters and we went down to the opening of the circus Ringling brothers Barnum and Bailey down at the amphitheater And you know you just sort of get swept up in nostalgia and watching these kids and very adult people too Who just work themselves to death then afterwards? So we want everybody to join in today My mother used to spend her summers in bearaboo when she was a little girl And so she was rather blasé about circus stuff, you know when I was a kid I had to fight to get to go to the circus because she just sort of thought everybody does But we’re we’re fascinated and have been for so long and we take our children up to bearaboo to the circus world museum Well, probably once a year just to see that and sort of keep in touch Do you ever get to bearaboo anytime the circus is playing near there when we’re in Madison or Well, I generally when we run from Minneapolis to Chicago. I was born here in Chicago But just because mother wanted to have me in the hospital and I was brought up in Baraboo between Baraboo and Sarasota, Florida What was it like?

1969 Tip Pyle is guest (9 min) WBBM – 1969

This one drops you right into their day— 1969 Tip Pyle is guest (9 min) WBBM in their own words. But they soon settled down after takeoff, and they became rather playful because we had a row of seats for human beings and people who were accompanying the elephants. Well, we did manage to train one of them for the beginning of her circus career. In the bright sunshine, they appear to glitter and sparkle as if they were covered with neon lighting all over.
