The Winter of Kit Summers
Kit Summers of Trainer has had his share of bad luck. His most recent bout involved him spending three weeks in our county prison for a crime, he says, he did not commit.
Kit is from California but has lived in Trainer for 17 years.
He was a world-class juggler and performed at Ballys in Atlantic City before almost being killed one rainy day when he was hit by a truck crossing Atlantic Avenue. He was in a coma for 37 days and suffered a severe brain injury. He never juggled professionally again. But he did use juggling in speaking engagements at schools to motivate students to not give up even after something bad happens to them.
He sure was good. Here he is at Ballys in 1982.
What happened to him recently is subject of my print column today.
