I just had the strangest dream, I dreamed was watching an Elephant display with five Elephants in each ring, ending with all fifteen doing a Cross Mount on the Front track, which I might add was the greatest display I've ever seen. Scored by William "Buckles" Woodcock!!!!
Actually it was a 16 elephant cross mount if I remember Anna May was brought out and was in the middle? Am I right Capt and then don't forget Charlie and Dialiah.
I was wondering about that myself. We had 20 Asian elephants and we used 16 in the display, three 5-acts and "Charlie". Meanwhile four more waited outside and came in for the cross mount, "Anna May", "George", "Rebecca" and "Mudu". Why they weren't included this day I couldn't say. Maybe we were short handed and no one available to hold them backstage.

Pretty darn nice display! I would say, hard to beat, and don't imagine, it has been done, by anyone else.
GREAT JOB, Buckles.

How many guys did you try to keep in the elephant dept. at that time?
A full crew was about 12 plus two barn men.
