Life, for many of us, might be described
as a series of sometimes gut-wrenching, sometimes
thrilling and sometimes glee-inducing ups and downs.
But
few of us learn that lesson as early as did Glen Coleman, who spent his
first days on earth in the literal shadow of a roller coaster.
When
Coleman was born, his parents lived in one of the more eccentric
dwellings in Memphis housing history: a
tiny two-room-plus-bath-and-kitchenette home tucked beneath the struts
and drops of the Pippin, the clattery wooden roller coaster at the old
Mid-South Fairgrounds that achieved international celebrity among its
scream-generating peers as Elvis Presley's favorite amusement park ride.
