Winter 1962-63 #2


The elephant is "Queenie" that Mrs. Ray trained when quite small, later owned by Walt King and so far as I know remains out in the golden west with Gatti-Charles.

Queenie was retired to the same Georgia park as Tge Shirley we just heard about the other day. She died a few years back.

Is this the same Queenie that water skiied up near Deleon Springs?

Yes indeed!

We were up at Deleon Springs a couple of years ago and they have a museum there where there is a video about 10 minutes or so long about Queenie and the rest of the show that was based there when it was a resort before it became a state park. It was well done and presented all of the animals in the show well. Especially the "monkey island"
