That 1963 Grotto Circus date in Cleveland was the first time I saw the Woodcock elephants perform. Little did I realize then that I would later get to meet Buckles in San Diego in 1978 (and again in 1994) and later contribute items to his Blog.

1963 was the year I met Buckles at the Detroit Shrine date. I came up with Joe Frisco Sr. from Cincinnati to visit the Zoo and then stopped off at the Fairgrounds. I think the other elephants were Mills Bros.(4) and Diano (3). Also the first time I saw Clyde Beatty and the last circus date for Roland Tiebor Sr. who was working a single sea lion in a display for his son who was on his way to Benson's Animal Farm.
