Is that Gail riding or it is both of their girls?

Good one Wade! Ya got me!:)
Gail riding. Lauren on the ground.
CleanRaul. I'm confused. I found an story in the New York Times entitled "Ticket by Ticket, One Small Circus Makes Ends Meet" about Vidbel's Olde Tyme Circus today and the story mentions Frank Murray's elephant act. It was originally published Sept 2, 1996.
It reads, "He (Frank Murray) and his wife, Gayle, own the elephant act. Three of Mr. Murray's children are in the show.The elephants are "Topsy" and "Annette".
Is the Gail mentioned by you,Frank's daughter or his wife?
Ahem, Clarification; Gayle is Frank's wife. Lauryn is Frank's third child and the youngest daughter of the family. Lauryn is working the act and riding, in the picture she is the ground person. Gayle is riding in the picture showed.
