Everyone in the circus thought I was going to be a trapeze artist. I walked at seven months and climbed over a seven foot chain link fence when I was one year old. My father taught me to swim before I could walk. My mother says I was a fast learner, always ahead of my age. They tAudrey2old me stories about the animals they worked with: Chi Chi the Chimpanzee, an elephant named Elder, and Gargantua the Gorilla. My first baby-sitters were a family of little people who lived in a trailer next to ours. I was bounced on the knee of the tallest man in the world and rocked in the arms of the fat lady who could not stand up. The people in the circus were my friends. My father, an art student, was making extra income by repainting circus murals. I was one year old and remember it vividly. My first memories are of Sarasota, Florida in the winter quarters of the Ringling Brothers' Circus.
