More On "Queenie" #5


This is "Tulsa", "Wanda" and "Queenie" in Walt King's act.
Late in 1980 Walt called offering to give me "Tulsa" for free, I have told the story on the Blog about her charging out of the truck and us having to use "Anna May" as a shield to get her rounded up, Ben managed to reach under "Anna May's" belly and got a leg chain on her.
After law and order had been restored Walt managed sell the act to Gatti and engaged Tommy Donoho to be the Captain. 
As they were leaving I warned Tommy to be careful and sure enough while watering at a truck stop "Tulsa" tore the door off the truck and there he sat.
Fortunately they were in the Dallas area and Bucky Steele and took her off his hands.
