Robert "Smokey" Jones #3


This was taken when Smokey worked at a Bay Area Park, the name of which I forget but the elephant's name was "Judy" and this is a mutual friend Val DeLeon from the Oakland Zoo who was giving Smokey a hand with something that day.
In the morning Smokey would load the little elephant into the trailer and move her to the park then back again in the late afternoon. Parks are well known for doing left handed things like this.

How is the new grand baby in your family? D o they let you watch her with the others during the day? This is Shannons child right? Would love to see a photo of the whole clan together.

Kathleen is a work in progress, a couple of months old now. In fact my daughter in law Melissa returns to work at Busch Gardens next week and I will then be in full authority of her care and management (I call her "Lumpy")until the Elephant Empress arises at the crack of noon.
