** Things that come to mind.  Does anyone remember the circuses that were presented on the field where Bunkie Elementary School now stands?  At that time we lived where the school is now and the elephant from the circus used to be staked out in our yard.  This was great fun.  There was also a magician at the circus whose name was Willard the Wizard who had a daughter, Madeline.  She was 6 years old when I first met her and her dad invited all of the neighborhood children to her 6th birthday party.  I will never forget how he made the cake rise off of the table.  Madeline, who lives in San Antonio, Tx, and I are still friends.  When the school board bought the property, our house was moved across the street on telephone poles pulled by tractors.  We spent one night in the middle of the street with flares out front and back to keep vehicles from running into the house.  Top!
