I got to meet Jurg Jenny while touring Europe with Clubb's Lions. He had a wickedly hot group of Sumatran tigers with which he did a good routine. He also had a most interesting couple of trucks. His tractors (2) were antique Swiss made Berners,just like they came off the showroom floor. Very impressive ! the big diesel engines sound like large sewing machines !
The trailers were hand built to look like Swiss chalets ! Fabulous equipment.Jurg and his wife were lovely people and had me to lunch at their beautifull
family farm, Equally picturesque.

If my memory serves me right, he told me those trucks are 1938, we were in quarters for a month when he played the Winter Program, what a pleasureable man to be around.

I repeat, we met a lot of Animal people in the 6 years we were in Germany, and found almost without exception they were Ladies & Gentlemen.
