Susan Shamhart aka Pukie the Clown!


boomchicks1@yahoo.com

HI Everyone!
A lot of people don't know about my life after high school...but here goes:

After high school I had this burning desire to be a clown in a carnival. You know, the ones that ride those little small bicycles??? So, yes, your classmate dressed up as a clown and rode the bike around the elephants and all the other carnys. Hey, I saw the US this way, for free! Sure the travel accomodations weren't that exciting - riding in the back of a truck or jumpin onto a moving train - but I was young then.

After about 5 years of shows, greasy carnival food and toothless co-workers - I decided it was time to get a job mom could be honest with when her friends asked how I was doing and...well, she thought that I went to Ohio State University - but I did actually move to Columbus and decided to help out the medical profession by offering my live body as a medical experiment.

There I was - with the lab rats, cats, and vermon. Hey - the pay was good, even though they couldn't guarantee an average life span. Some people earn their college money in less desireable ways - I atleast can say that my college money was earned for the betterment of society!

Yes, I did eventually go to Ohio State. Eventually the nervous twitch stopped that I acquired from the medical experiments.

Actually I have my Master's Degree. And, if you would like to find out more, you will need to come to the reunion and see for yourself!

Love Ya,
Sue
