I was reading an old Billboard dated June 30, 1951 last night and found the following: Viola Herriott, wife of Milt Herriott and mother of Johnny Herriott, Cole Show horse trainers, is in St. Mary,s Hospital, Rochester, Minn., following an operation and is expected to remain there for some time. Also, Bill Woodcock, elephant superintendent for Kelly-Miller, returned to the show at Savanna, I'll. June 19th after a flying trip to New York . Young Elephants for a new Kelly-Miller act were purchased from Henry Trefflich on the trip. The bulls are to be delivered in July.

One of the three had a crippled hind leg and was refused so "Anna May" was borrowed and never returned.

As I've noted her before, how gratifying it is to see the trainer get name credit on the show truck.
