To Ryan Easley: "In answer to your question, I have the African "Paula" listed with C&B 1976-89 however there had been a "Pauline" in the herd the two previous years 1974-75 (same elephant?) The other African "Ruby" was on the show 1976-82. |

Just my two cents: I do not recall any Ruby on the show in 76 and 77.
I have "Ruby" later listed with Ford Bros. 1983-87, if that helps any.
Thanks Buckles. Courtesy of former Toledo Zoo elephant boss Don Redfox, I have Tom Parkinson's picket line banners from the early 1980s of Ringling Red, Ringling Blue, Carson & Barnes and Ford Bros. They were all supposedly taken in the early to mid-1980s, the Ford Bros. date identified by the presence of Jo. A White Tops article describing the show later that year identifies Ruby with Ford Bros., a former C&B elephant. Another told me she was back on the Hugo show in 1992. She is not pictured in either lineup though. Any idea what became of her?
Buckles,
Paula was on the show in 1975, when I picked up Obert, Kelly, and Tracy, and was the only African there. She was Kenny Ikerts "baby. There was no Ruby there in 1975.

Radar, Ruby wasn't back on Carson and Barnes after 1987. I have all the route books that listed all the animals on the show. She isn't there.
