"Shirley" #7

Scan12829, originally uploaded by bucklesw1. Bailey Bros. wintered in Pine Bluff, Arkansas 1948-49 at the Fairgrounds, I went down there on a bus from Hot Springs a few times. I remember seeing the equipment being repainted to Robbins Bros. Right after my dad had taken over the elephants in the Fall of 1948 he worked the New Orleans date for Tom Packs. This is a snap shot of "Shirley" in quarters that includes Sid Stevens (Big Bob's Brother), Sam Cook, Mr. Miller (this photo-op was for his benefit, whoever he was), Bill Woodcock, Ted Milligan and Whitey Thorn. Kneeling in front, Boots Weckner.
