From Maarten de Jong #1 (Holland)

scannen0001, originally uploaded by bucklesw1. Dear Buckles, I promised you before. A year ago? I'll fresh up your mind. Was a journalist all my working life. And a circus lunatic. So I confiscated all pictures about circus at my paper. And threw them in a box. And that's where they are now while I'm almost 70. Not organized. But finding you on the Internet (after a tip of Jason Peters) I knew, one day I would dig up the elephant pic's. Well here are the first one's. 1. Frieda Sem\bach Krone, who used to present the elephant herd of the big European Circus Krone. Until the tour in Holland. There was some bad publicity about a granny as grey as the elephants, or something like that. We've never seen her in the center ring since then. I don't know what year it was. Must have been the seventies. Maybe 1975. If I see these pictures back on your Blog (I love it) It'll be a sign to dig more out of my box Wishing you a good health, Maarten de Jong
