Flying with Jeannie
Sonoma County, California
Flying trapeze has been a passion of mine for about 15 years. Having done it that long, I should be starring in the circus; I am not, but I love it as much as if I were. And one thing about a passion is that one likes to share it. We have many young employees at the Museum, and a group of them joined me for a lesson on a sunny Saturday in May—everyone had a good time. We are planning another session in the summer, so look for more pictures.

“Look Ma, No Safety Lines”
Jean Schulz and Sam Keen (left, circa 2001) are known in their trapeze circles “chronologically-challenged
frequent fliers.” As Jeannie says, they represent more than 130 years of hanging in there together.
