"Pilate" #1



I was looking at your 1929 Ringling herd listing and can't find where to place "Katie." Is this the same elephant that later ended up in Hugo with Little Bob Stevens in the early 1950s ? Can you share the applicable records ? Thanks for the help.

The "Katie" referred to was imported by B&B 1908-18 then RBBB 1919-48.
Logan once told me he worked her in a team on the Ringling Show "Katie" and "Tillie".
At the time she arrived the mighty "Pilate" seen above, ruled supreme!
