"Peggy", "Toto", "Dutch" and "Anna May".
The year before while playing Macon, Ga. with the Hanneford Show, Bob Cline showed up from the Albany, Ga. Zoo asking if I wanted a free elephant and fitting within my price range I picked her up on the way home.
They called her "Popsicle" and Cline confided "She's not very sweet!"
I never had a minutes trouble with her, in fact I once loaned her to Bones Craig for a while and he liked her.

I'm confused. I thought you told me years ago you had renamed Eva "Peggy?" Did you have two different Peggys?
Were these ladies allowed to "free range" on the property or was their a picket line for them out in the tall grass and under the pine trees?
Only one Eva and only one Peggy.
Same elephamt.
Ole Whitey there was a Peggy that was a Circus World elephant..came from Billy Smart..
Thanks, guys, old men need all the help they can get. Now if you'll just fix me a G&T...
Will Beefeaters do Dave as I don't
have any high falutin stuff
I have a poor man's taste.
Sterno will be fine.
Now that's what I call Fire Water
(works well as the ignition for
a lycopodium atomization)
The old fashion way just had lycopodium squirted from a rubber bulb toward a flame. Ouch!
That still works fine manually
In order to remote & automate it
I use a small nitrogen cannon to
propel the powder & can operate
the electrical valve wirelessly
Just thought the sterno would be
a fairly inconspicuous ignition
A filled bottle cap would burn
a while & be wind resistant
By the way Dave that rubber bulb
is a baby ear syringe but for a
BIG fire ball use a rose duster
