Mable Stark 1930's

I have often wondered where this lady got her courage, not just with working the big cats, but her life in general. At the time that I knew her she was somewhat sullen with just about everyone. I would rib her a little and when she cracked a smile the conversation could start. She knew more people and had been more places than any other person I had ever met. It  did not take much to get her to talk about all the  circuses that she had worked for and when she spoke of them her body became erect with shoulders back and head high as she was back there on those old circuses recounting her time of glory. Gosh…how I loved to listen to that grand lady
