In 1950 we joined the Al G. Kelly & Miller Bros. Circus where my father trained eight elephants the first Winter including this one "Barbara".

Bob Karczewski said...: Was Barbara the elephant that did some damage at a nursing home one year? I remember seeing a picture in the White Tops showing that event.; 06 March, 2016 14:06
Buckles said...: Sure was!
She went in one side and out the other!; 06 March, 2016 14:23
Dennis said...: It was 1977. She ran in the front glass doors, ran 20 feet and turned left down a corridor and out a window at the end of the corridor. If she had turned right instead of left she would have been with the residents eating lunch. D.R. said he paid $50,000.00.; 06 March, 2016 16:21
