Looks like Sea World in Orlando is the winner! I took a quick weekend trip to Florida to visit my friend Bonnie shortly after she moved there. I don't know one orca killer whale from the other (never mind the trainers) but I can't help but wonder if this might be Tilikum, the whale that killed its trainer a couple of years ago in Orlando. Perhaps one of these women is the unfortunate trainer. Isn't it funny what we find when we go looking?
Kathleen sent this picture along that she found again recently
In her words (and I am NOT comparing your parents to killer whales!):
It is Nov 1989, the first and only time I got both of them to come visit me. It
is at my first house in Tampa. I was still married to Doug. I brought them to my
office during that visit and introduced them to Nick, my co-worker. He still
talks about the only time he met Mom. Who said they never rested? I was already
thinking, If I could only get them to move to FL, but I knew she would never
leave the grandchildren.
Isn't it funny what we find when we go looking?
