David
writes on Australia...
During
our travels across Australia, with our tent show,
or with Ashton's Circus, we visited nearly 300/350
cities and towns.
Several
times we(my family) were visited by Native Australians.
All had never seen a Native Person of another race,
and were, of course, curious. Without exception, they
always brought us gifts. Most important, they called
my dad "Brother".
They
somehow knew that Native Americans and themselves
had many, many things in common. I have no idea how
these people knew about dad. Perhaps they got the
word from Aborigines employed by Jimmy Sharman, or
those employed by the circus.
My
dad was moved by their plight and was very sympathetic
toward them. I remember once overhearing him tell
a tribal leader that "a change would come, so
be patient, and don't push too hard".
We
cherished the gifts from those wonderful people, and
my dad would try and give them money, but they would
not take it.
I
think that if my dad had not had the strokes, he may
have become an advocate for the Aussie natives.
