The attached photo has been "lost" for years, somewhere in my many trunks of circus stuff. I even searched for it several times when you were at the Catskill Game Farm, but to no avail. The photo turned up this afternoon.
The photo was taken at Circus World, fall 1974, during our "elephant riding lesson". It is me atop an elephant. I've been telling everyone FOR YEARS that I rode Anna May, but I never got the information confirmed by you. Please advise.
Hello to Barbara.

"It's "Anna May" for sure. You can always tell by her big square head. When Irvin Feld saw her for the first time he said that she was the biggest elephant he ever saw but he was looking at her head on. Her top weight was always around 8,000 lbs. average size."
