Being part of this very Superfluous Life is my JOY. IT is an honor to write about my part and their Life as artist who are now included in the reknown Circus Hall of Fame in Sarasota Fla. IT was my honor to give their acceptance Speech and do the Research for that special time in january 2006, At that time I began writing about my own circus and life experience as well as thos of my parents and "circus family"
My first book will be directed towards children, however, adults I have found enjoy the Life on the Sawdust Road as well. My dream is that this first book will unfold into many. As now my Circus Background and love and experience with circus horses as well as growing up with horses has led me into the new careers of Carriage horse driver and business of Carousel Cab Carriage Company and my horse assisted program for kids and adults Horse-Connection has supported, taught and entertained hundreds of children from the very developmentally disabled, some hearing impaired and many just to Learn, Laugh and have FUN.
My first book about the horse-connection will be one of many is my Hope. I have many supporters in My Circus Family to assist me with other books about my Parent's Colorful Life as Circus Performers!! They had many talents and they even had their own circus The Ward -Bell Circus in the fifties. this Show is wellknown for traveling to Hawaii in the fifties (1955) and then to Alaska the following year. All the preparation was done in Gainesville Texas at the Circus Winter Quarters for the Gainesville Community Circus. This was close to my parent's and childhood home in Dallas, texas also in the outskirts of Duncanville Texas where I atteneded my high school years.
Many teachers and friends have encouraged writing as Fun and to document my unusual Life as a "circus brat" ( we were often fondly referred by that name in those years). IT was aloving term for we sometimes had to Entertain ourselves or find a job. Mine was loving and grooming ponies , Liberty horses and sometimes even feeding them and also the elephants. So my love of Animals is HUGE thanks to these Circus Trainers and friends that I well honor in my writings.
Most of all my Mom and Dad and their partners in the circus Harold & Millie Ward and the others will be mentioned in honor also as they grew to a Nine People Flying act. Which gave them the acclaimed award in the Hall of Fame for their passing leap. This famous trick was the brainstorm of Harold Ward and Gus Bell, my father. It read: INDUCTED TO THE CIRCUS RING OF FAME JANUARY 21, 2006: WARD-BELL FLYERS THE BRAINCHILD OF HAROLD WARD AND GUS BELL, IT BECAME ONE OF THE MOST ACCLAIMED FLYING RETURN ACTS OF ITS DAY. AT ITS PEAK IN THE 1950'S, IT INLCUDED A DEMONSTRATION OF HIGH PRECISION ACROBATICS ALOFT. IT ENDED WITH ALL NINEMEMBERS IN THE AIR SIMULTANEOUSLY EXECUTING THREE PASSING LEAPS IN UNISION. IT IS MYSELF NIKKI THEISINGER AND MY BROTHER RODNEY BELL SIGNED ON THE PLAQUE AS SPONSORS.
This was the Highlight of my life in the circus. To stand and give the honory speech and Give this Loving glory to all who had worked so dedicated to this FEAT. IT was this honor that led to my writing about my Animals and how my parents and these circus folks influenced my life and as child and now as an adult. To take my educational counseling background and use that as a tool to continue their work by Circus Camps for Children and Adults is my dream now and more in the future.voir moins
