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

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.

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.
