From Gary Hill #2

With "Konti" in Dallas. "When I first arrived in Venice in November of 1973, Gary was already there with a number of other people from the Dallas Park, awaiting the construction of Circus World in Davenport, Fl. The animals they had brought with them were intended for the African Veldt area of the forthcoming park but now also in limbo, had been dispersed around around the country. As is well known, Gulf Oil (the Parent Company) kicked out and the whole project never developed. The two elephants "Doc" and "Konti" eventually came under my care." Buckles
