Baby Neena II Big John Strong & Eddie Spaghetti

Eddie Spaghetti is the greatest clown that ever lived! When traveling with the circus when we were kids, it was the most happiest time in my life growing up under the tent of John Strong Circus.

It was awesome and some shy of when Big John used too bring all five of us kids to the center of the ring. Introducing us to the whole crowd all around us. Sometimes when each show was over us kids would help clean the tent floor afterward. Sometimes Linda or Sandy would bring Neena into the ring ride her. That was fun. I remember once when we went to David Halls, He offered rides on Bertha and Tina. My sisters and brother got up on Bertha but Forget Me, I was afraid of heights and I was gonna get up their! LOL! Bertha was a Giant Elephant! My sisters and I enjoyed that! I am sure they think about that from time to time as well!

When my daughter Amanda found Eddie Spaghetti (grandpa) once again, I was so thrilled and so proud of her. I used to talk about the Big John Strong Circus with my kids all through their growing up years. Last year when I went to Fresno when Dad was there, I was able to show her and Chuck my Dads circus pictures.  They really enjoyed it  because the Big John Strong Circus will never die in our hearts. Eddie Spaghetti will live in all our hearts. He will Forever be a part of our family! My kids will tell their kids all about The Big John Strong  Circus!!

When I received some pictures from Linda Strong I was so thrilled! It brought back so many memories of our childhood that will never be forgotten! I really miss Arthur. I speak a lot about him to my friends because he is the most awesome Macaw I have ever seen.

Here in Crescent City we have a feed store call Parkway Feed. Last year the Feed store burnt to the ground. The only animal left that survived was their Mascot Macaw. It was so sad the Owner of Parkway Feed had his picture in the paper telling his story about the most loved bird in Crescent City! Parkway Feed is rebuilding again, the bird will soon be back on his own branch again someday!

Well this it for now.

Thank you John, Linda and Sandy for keeping The Big John Strong Circus Alive in our hearts!!!!

God Bless All The Rest Too!
Linda
