| Biography: |
I worked as a ride op at Great America in Santa Clara, CA during the seasons 1988-1990. I got extremely obsessed with the Columbia Carousel (the "My Ride Syndrome"). I became the foremost expert on its history, etc. and even published articles in a carousel magazine about it. Needless to say, I was fired because I got "too perfect" and made many of my co-workers unhappy and angry. My whole life changed after that and many lessons were learned the hard way. Looking back on it all, I definitely would have fired me, too!  |
