My Giraffe Story!

Our last full season on the road was with Universoul in 2002. Ben worked the act with Margo Porter as Elephant Empress. Also in the program, shortly after the elephant act, a giraffe was led around the ring. No idea who owned it but Ben said it was very impressive since anyone who has seen Universoul knows that the ring sits on a stage about 4' high to begin with. One day after exiting the back back door, a Circus Fan stopped Ben and Margo and asked them to pose for a picture with "Anna May". Right in the midst of posing, the giraffe escaped and came thundering down the ramp and out the back door sending Margo ass over tea kettle and Ben sprawling. "Anna May" continued thru the back yard and stopped behind the bull truck. Amazingly the fan caught the shot just at the point where "Anna May" was saying "Aloha!" That photo was to conclude today's series but try as I may I can't find it. Ben couldn't remember the name of the fan but if by some small chance he follows the Blog we might see it yet.
