Added Bonus Picture!

Three men out standing in their field!
When I first started working props for our family elephant act I soon discovered that I had other talents.
Here am I leading camels for Jack Joyce.
At left is Harry Haag Jr. and at right (in what looks to be my robe) is "Red" (I forget his last name) the groom for Joe Zoppe's riding act.
I think this was taken in Evansville during the period the current arena was under construction.
