Carson & Barnes Circus 1975 #1


Scan10173, originally uploaded by bucklesw1.

When we were at the Ringling Park, Gary Jacobson took off for a few days to visit Carson & Barnes while it was marchin' thru Georgia. These snap shots came from a set of about 50 he brought back.
Here he poses with "Paula" that had been added to the herd the previous year.
The first time I ever met Gary was on this show in the Fall of 1972. He had joined in Wisconsin in mid-season, was placed in the Elephant Dept. and has remained around elephants (Feld Stud Farm) from that day til this.

Buckles,
Was the African Ruby purchased at the same time as Paula?
